 Ni> For native English speakers, at least (and I live in the US, where English

I think this is driven by the assumption on the author's part that they'll
get it right the first time every time.  Which they obviously don't, and in
this day and age where there are no losers, they take umbrage when the
problems are pointed out.

So they appear to be not reading their own material back, and have an over
reliance on spell checkers.
