I will post a series of discussion posts each concentrating only on one currentish question from academic philosophy.

Will each of them misspell "versus"?

Every single one. I suck at spelling, I will just use a better spell check before I put stuff on here from now on. Everyone of my articles, you think I would learn.

edit: or actually we think there are many reasons why I wouldn't, but you know.

I personally tend to downvote poorly proofread posts (comments are OK). If you did not bother spell-checking and rereading what you wrote, you probably did not think through your post (and point), either.

I disagree, I am dyslexic, I actually reread every post several times before posting. I am just bad at noticing small details in letters, and bad at remembering arbitrary sequences. I am working on it.

Suggestion: Get someone else to proofread the drafts before you post them.

Great idea. Kind of a duh, but I wasn't doing it already.

I volunteer.

Thanks a ton. I will take advantage of this generous offer.
