I'm cursed.. Worked at a newspaper for a few years as a copy editor and when I read an article, the proofer takes over.

Second paragraph states' Second, set you camera to AF-S -- my eye stopped scrolling right then.

Damn I hate that.

Online articles are full of errors and typos, and it really does hurt their credibility.

Terrific, Sarge!
I'm a wanna-be word maven and it just stops me dead in my tracks when I bump into one of there awful errors.

I'm with you Jerry, to me, it really only bothers me when there are glaring typo's in books that I have paid a lot of money for and they are staring me in the face. Seems like publishers these days really don't care about the quality of their printed works.

I used to be reading a book all the time, but since I am doing more online, well...

In just about every book I read there was at least one typo, but I didn't mind. I got a kick out of finding errors. Even when a couple of people - and a computer - go through a book, it's still possible to miss things. A short online article is different, though. the author should be able to catch a mistake in one or two pages.

I just heard the traffic woman on the TV news say, "There will be less cars on he highway."

Second, set your camera to AF-S or ONE SHOT. This setting makes the camera stay focussed on the same spot as long as you keep the shutter button depressed half way.
