There's another trend that can be recognized: posts to point out spelling
errors almost inevitably have at least one in them as well...

Not everyone on this list uses English as a native language, and even those
that do often don't spell it perfectly. So what? As long as the general
meaning of the text is clear, it doesn't matter much. Yes, a text without
errors is easier to read, and spell checkers are a good idea for those who
know of themselves that their spelling is poor, but it's no reason to jump
all over them. If you must point out spelling errors, do so off the list
unless it's meant as a joke which you're fairly sure the original poster
will laugh about as well.
