103. I've noticed it, too, and it's the kind that can't be atrributed to typos

After all, I'm an expert in Typoese and have been since I flunked typing in junior high school. However, these are glaring illiteracies.

I'm sure some of them are recovering Republicans, still used to getting their information through their ears but listening to Rachel Maddow instead of that damfool Beck. Even Maddow can't improve the spelling of folks who don't read, though.

Some of them are the troll brigade, as you very rightly suspect. Don't worry, they won't last long. People who aren't smart enough to write clearly aren't smart enough to fool people who can for very long.
