> Even though this is an obvious type

An obvious typo, you might even say!

When correcting someone on a finer point, it’s only fair to subject yourself to the same even-handed criticism before posting.

(I am a descriptivist, not a prescriptivist when it comes to spelling and grammar, but I am a stickler for the rules when it’s time to follow them! It’s fair to assume that we didn’t know there was going to be a test, and I have made typos also. I just thought this was ironic. Carry on!)



I actually spotted that within the edit window but decided to leave it as I deserved it.
