Ironic, you've got some typos but make a good point :)

You are right :) [2]

Perhaps it also conveys different type of meaning by having them in this context.

Errors [1] in community discussion threads like this are positive signals that I am human not a bot. A couple of decades ago, I would be unhappy with myself for it, today accent and idiosyncratic writing are perhaps signals[3] that you are human.

[1] i.e. not proof reading for them, not introducing them deliberately.

[2] I can only see one typographical error (it->if) and many grammar errors, did I miss something ?

[3] Not definitive and not as a personal signature, as it can be easily faked/replicated, but the variations at scale is for now not seen in models. Today's model instances do not get unique personas, accents, idiosyncrasies in writing that would make them unique.
