After the debacle of my frist post in today's lesson, I've decided to explain the difference between typos and spelling mistakes...
A spelling mistake (or poor use of grammar) is something students make.
A typo (short for typographical error) is NEVER an (admitted) spelling mistake and is usually made by a teacher or professional journalist to explain away spelling mistakes as part of some purile face-saving exercise...
In short, double, even trebble-check everything you post up and commit to print for your projects - as with an exam you won't be able to explain away frist page mistakes as a typo to an examiner ;-)
