I'm noticing a recent trend of some subtle (in some cases) or not so subtle (I've had to re-read the title twice to figure out what they meant) misspellings in different titles around here.

For instance:

PR 1.2 and, battery life..(Mines phenominal)
MeeGo 1.0 for N900 is relased!
Increase file size it's limits?

And of course, that one about the playing with the N900 and the girlfiend instead of girlfriend. Seen any others?

Come on... you all can spell better than that!

a) Excitement,
b) English not first language, and/or
c) Typing on a tiny keyboard on something like one of the legacy devices n810 or N900.

d) Too many people using Text Speak and have forgotten how to spell.
e) Dyslexics like the N900

If by "as of late" you mean the last 6-8 months, I agree. I notion to add a mandatory spell checker before anyone posts something.
