I love it when folks get the "-ist" and "-est" suffixes mixed up. Like, I'm fully prepared to believe that you're medieval, but medievalest? That's a bold claim!

whenever you feel bad about a typo I want you to remember this story

in 1631 the official royal printers Robert Barker and Martin Lucas messed up a printing of the King James Bible

errors included messing up the 7th commandment so that it read "Thou shalt commit adultery" and writing Deuteronomy 5:24 as "Behold, the Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and his great-ass"

this misprint became known as the Wicked Bible, they were fined 300 pounds and lost the right to be printers

so your typo in the group chat doesn't have people talking about God's great ass 400 years later.

If a fanfic is tagged "no beta" or "no beta we die like […]," do you point out typos?

No; "no beta we die like–" means you accept the typos

Yes; "no beta we die like–" doesn't mean they don't want to fix minor mistakes

I specifically avoid works with these tags

I don't read fanfic/show results

He fell head-over-heels in love with her at first fight.

Me finding a typo in my story, it should be "first sight"

Me considering that this would make a very exciting but very different story if I kept it
