It is. It removes the color and nuance from typed communication. There's a lot of metadata in typos.

Oh puh-lease. Are you seriously trying to argue that TYPOS are the anchor upon which genuine human interaction hinges on?

I mean, wow. If you're trolling that's amazing.

You conveyed more emotional information in the misspelled "puh-lease" than you would've with the correctly spelled "please".

I said no such thing. I stated, correctly, that typos convey information. Removing typos removes information.
