Yeah, I like having my typos pointed out, too - otherwise I probably won't spot them myself for months, or I'll never see them at all.
I know I keep harping on loose/lose, but it's so ubiquitous online that I don't think it can be attributed to mostly typos. I think there are a lot of internet users who honestly think "lose" has two O's, because that error is just SO common. I'll admit that I've hesitated over it a couple times myself when I'm tired, because I see it so often that even though I know it's wrong, my brain is starting to accept it despite my input. Which is probably why I'm complaining about it so much, because that's embarrassing for me.
