He isn't missing an "r". He's missing an "e".

Sorry but the prerequisite for being a grammar/spelling nazi is not being a retard yourself. Also, grammar nazi'ing is used to stop a rant by pointing out said grammatical flaws and making the ranter look stupid (like I'm doing to you right now), not to be the topic of the rant itself. Typical grammar nazi gets the job done in 1 post, not 3.

I will have to disagree with you, Harrison.
Not that it's not a typo, because that's true. However, I think what you basically don't understand, is that everyone knows that you are calling people out for grammatical errors when they are obvious, and you're doing that so that you can "get one up" on them. We know this.
what you're wrong about, is that langston is retarded, or that anyone that makes a mistake such as this one is retarded. It's laziness really. We don't want to take the time to correct some mistakes, because we, might be in a hurry...or just lazy, whatever the reason is. Oftentimes, I really can be safe to assume that the reader got what I meant.
You are acting like you're schooling someone, when I don't think there's anyone on this board that gets offended or insulted by you.
we'd have to have egos for that, none of us have egos here.

I will leave that to speak for itself.
I was talking about the second typo, and severly misspelled is still, by definition, a typo.

Typographical means the arrangement and appearance of printed matter.
So since his original thought "Kinda like handing a severely retarded kid a fork and telling him to play with the wall outlet" was mistyped, it is still a typo.
I win.
You lose.
Get a life.

no, the point of my original post was that instead of using proper flammage, you run around pointing out typos, and that makes you feel better about yourself. I am still right, you are still wrong, end of story.
