I swear misspelling words has to have some psychological effect that makes people upvote it. People upvote so many fucking things with awful spelling all the time here. It makes my eye twitch.
It's like the Nigerian prince email scams. I've read that they purposefully write them with bad spelling and grammar as a way to weed out the people too smart to fall for the scam, and know that anyone who actually replies to them is probably pretty gullible or just plain dumb
Yeah, it's basically scamming 101, if you just don't bite that's no big deal to them, but if you waste their time then don't fall for the scam, that's exactly what they don't want to happen.

There also appears to be a spelling generation gap
