Thanks for the pointers -- didn't realize rich formatting was available. I think you misunderstand me. I find it odd that an author would expect me to take his/her writing seriously if he/she doesn't take it seriously enough to run a spell check, and I'm curious how others feel about the subject. Also, I don't appreciate being called a pedant. I asked the question earnestly and politely. If you think I am a snob or was rude, tell me directly rather than correcting my own writing in ways that I specifically excluded from the scope of my judgement.

No problem. >Also, I don't appreciate being called a pedant. [...] I didn't. I said that I don't object to spelling errors unless I feel the author is being pedantic about the writing of someone else, then I _have_ to! You made no errors that I spotted I simply pointed out a couple of nuanced alterations in style that I would make. However, I do feel you're a pedant in this respect but don't see that as an especially deleterious characteristic. Pedantry has it's place. I don't think you're being a snob or being rude but I do think that spelling on a blog is not as important as your post suggested it should be - it would depend on the blog to some extent of course.
