Perhaps such an individual thinks of him/herself as a maverick.

I might have made this mistake a time or two in a post. Doesn't autocorrect fix the Maverick/Mavericks error though?

I don't know about the others but this Slydude guy really drives me crazy.
Is it truly a journey if the final destination is where one has always been? . . . .

What can I say it's one of the few things I do well. 
@RavingMac Rotfl Took me a minute to figure that post out though.

LOL my pet pea across the board is when a person ask a question and explains the question and what they have already tried or why the normal routine to fix the solution has not worked. Or they ask a question and point out the information they are looking for and can't find. Only to have posters post obvious answers based on the topics heading other then taking the time to actually read the question.
On example was on a photo forum that I am not a member of. A member posting a question asking about what the actual focal length of the human eye was, he even pointed out he did not care about the angle of view or the amount of compression. Yet he had over 40 pages of crap post by users bickering back and forth over the angle of view and the tele compression. Yet none of them actually read his post.. They simply saw the heading and posted an answer based on it and not the original post by the user. Sad..

I hate it when people criticize others for bad spelling, so I'm glad a disabled person spoke up. The following is my original post, which somehow incurred an error.
I hate it when people nit pick about spelling. Not everyone is a good speller, and even if they are, they may not type well, or even have good grammar. I could really get into a rant about that but this isn't the place. My spelling and typing are fairly good, though sometimes I goof, too. Disabled people can't always type well, so I'm glad someone spoke up about that. Now that person might get self conscious and afraid to post. Geesh. I have some impairments, too, and know all too well about that.
Misspelling in forums and other text media used to bother me, but I decided that it's not as important in informal situations, but if someone was sharing a letter they plan to send, especially in a business situation, including writing to complain about stuff to lawmakers, then I'll correct them.
By now I'm sure someone's gonna say something about spellcheckers, which are a good tool, but they don't always have the word I need, so I do my best to figure it out, sometimes I'll look it up someplace if it's that important to me.
There are worse things people can complain about, but please remember, no matter what someone criticizes someone for, they don't know the entire situation, often, they don't even know the person. I've been around awhile and have seen a lot of why people are shy and fearful, often for trivial reasons.
What really bugs me is when people's subject lines are so vague and unspecific.
And about the Maverick thing, I can see where someone could make that mistake if they're thinking in terms of grammar. If anyone saw how I handled that, it's a technique I use often, that's tactful, and could point out the error without causing hurt.

I know, right?
EDIT: What's with tacking that "right?" on at the end of stuff.
"I think Apple hit it out of the ballpark with iOS 8."
"I know, right?"
"Why are you asking me whether you know something?"

..bothers me too, but I stopped correcting people a long time ago. What's worse is just usage. Words have meanings, but often not the one the writer intended.
