The non-natives are pressed less...
ooooo, cinnamon melts mmmmm

Even if you are fluent, and even if you are affluent, (and even if you are effluent) it takes more effort for non-natives to notice a typo than someone who is native. To me, "baking system" stuck out like a sour thumb, with no effort, whereas you would most likely have to consciously read it for typos.

While it is usually a waste of time to point out typos in an online discussion since it is the thoughts (if any) that count, to do so to a non-native is impolite and sometimes rude.

The exception, of course, is when a typo actually changes the meaning, and if the change will lead to a joke, or is funny on its own (like yours was).

You see, some of us need some mirth in order to swallow the bitter pills of, say, an economic/political thread. Calls us mirthers. Or just don't call us, we'll just screen you out anyway.

(BTW, sour thumbs can result from making too many sourdough items.)

You might be right.....I thought it was because I always write quickly and don't check things.....and actually normally I check things I write in other languages more careful than what I write in Dutch.

ps did you notice the typo/spelling mistake in the ps of my last post.:blush:
