Should You Hold Spelling Errors Against Developers?
You’re checking out some code. It’s been a long time since you looked at this project. Or maybe it’s the first time. You point your editor at an interesting file name and double-click to open it. Your coffee is warm, your mind is clear, and you’re ready to go.
And there it is, sticking out like white socks in sandals. A spelling error.
How do you handle it? Do you fix it? Do you ignore it? Discuss it with the author? Bring it up during lunch when he’s not around?
