What does my tits in is when I do an amazing piece of work, and someone tells me it's complete crap because they've spotted spelling mistakes.
The bit that annoyes me about that is that they're so easy to change, and generally the thing that i'm showing off is the design and the functionailty.... but because they want to feel super-smart, they pick up on something like that.

Stare back at them for long enough for them to start looking uncomfortable
and then say "I'm dyslexic. Thank you for your constructive criticism."

Hah, i've had to play the dyselxia card a few times, and people think i'm taking the piss at first.
I suppose I should like at it as a compliment that they wouldn't think someone who spells like I do can produce work like I do.

I'm not sure what point they were trying to make when they added 'Amy Childs' to that list.

Doesn't really work when most of it is code.

Your spelling mistakes generally jump up and down and wave, though.
It quite often takes me a few seconds to figure out what they mean. They're very inventive, though, and I love your blog about words.

Yeah', although i'm chatting and I come across a word that I know is wrong, i'll leave it.
where as with work, i'd change the word to something I can work out. But the trouble is, I don't always know if its wrong or not.... like saying to a colourblind person.
