\u201cWell he don’t know talkin’ good like me and you, so his\u00a0vocabulistics is limited to \u2018I\u2019 and \u2018am\u2019 and \u2018Groot,\u2019 exclusively\u00a0in that order.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Rocket Raccoon<\/strong>
\n\u201cGuardians Of The Galaxy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A few months ago I bloke was pestering about all the \u201ctypos\u201d in my\u00a0emails. He didn\u2019t mean anything malicious about it.<\/p>\n

But, it was getting annoying.<\/p>\n

(More annoying than typos.)<\/p>\n

For 2 or 3 days straight he went out of his way to say, \u201cthere\u2019s a\u00a0typo\u201d in different ways. Again, not maliciously. Just his\u00a0nature probably.<\/p>\n

So what did I do?<\/p>\n

What I always tell people who complain about typos:<\/p>\n

Nobody cares.<\/em><\/p>\n

When he replied saying *he* cared, I simply said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are going to keep wasting my time nattering on about typos\u00a0each day, then opt out and cancel your email players subscription\u00a0or I will do it for you. It’s simply not for you. Plenty of others\u00a0you can learn from, instead. On the other hand, if you are open to\u00a0learning and not just assuming, I’ve tested and written about this\u00a0extensively, typos are a non-issue:\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then listed several blog posts I\u2019ve done about this.<\/p>\n

He agreed he was open to learning and we were cool after that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the point of this?<\/p>\n

A lot of people who complain about typos should be more focused on\u00a0writing better emails than having better spelling, grammar, and\u00a0syntax.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll make a lot more of the green stuff.<\/p>\n

And, be less annoying.<\/p>\n

Also, speaking of typos:<\/p>\n

The biggest complaint about my first two novels was the spelling.\u00a0And, yes, I admitted it sucked. Especially \u201cZombie Cop\u201d. But we\u00a0were anxious to get it out there and, well, why so serious?<\/p>\n

Still, we\u2019re always looking for more.<\/p>\n

(I don\u2019t care if typos are in my emails, but I don\u2019t want them in\u00a0my novels).<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s a deal:<\/p>\n

Since we updated \u201cZombie Cop\u201d with the spelling errors fixed not\u00a0long ago, here is a challenge:<\/p>\n

1. Buy and read “Zombie Cop” (the most recent version, as of\u00a030-days ago)<\/p>\n

2. If you find a typo, I\u2019ll give you a free copy of the second\u00a0novel in the series \u201cVampire Apocalypse\u201d<\/p>\n

3. If you find a typo in \u201cVampire Apocalypse\u201d, I\u2019ll give you a free\u00a0copy of my soon-to-be-released novel \u201cDemon Crossfire\u201d (part 3 of\u00a0the series) after it launches<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where to get \u201cZombie Cop\u201d:<\/p>\n
