"The Price of Typos" By Virginia Heffernan, July 17, 2011

I really like how this article, is once again, very opinionated. I appreciated how she said, "Bad spellers are a breed apart from good ones." She seems to feel very strongly about how she can't stand typos in writing. She makes the point, that a good writer tends to "see language as a system." I can completely relate to this statement, especially after reading, "On Writing Well." Heffernan also mentions that the rise of technology has both increased and decreased the amount of typos in writing these days. Increased, because people always counted on editors to filter through the author's mistakes but now that technology is so advanced in our society, these editors are not as common. Decreased, because technology now has the power to slightly edit these mistakes during the entire writing process. Overall, I like her style of writing because she takes such a small matter and is able to expand on the idea, allowing me to see more into depth on her statements.
