Alter ego? The alter/altar misspelling is right up there with they're/their for making your meme look silly.

It's just a minor typo, don't we all make them?
Unless the OP has a habit of correcting others,,,

It is, but I'm old enough to believe in proofreading.

Not all of us are adept at it. I myself have to look up a lot of words just to make sure I got the spelling right. I'm not dyslexic, but I may have some sort of spatial interpretation disorder my eye doctor told me years ago. I have to be tested for it at some place in Manhattan though, so skip that.

My first and still biggest regret on this site was when I corrected somebody's spelling when I first got active commenting here in late 2016. He was nice about it, and his response made me feel like crap. It turned out he had a problem with spelling. Already well into his adult years, it wasn't exactly a matter of simply learning how to spell those words correctly in school. Him and another guy on this site became my best friends here back in those early days.

Now I may seem hardly one to talk, as I can be quite the itch, and yes, I correct quite a few spelling errors by other members myself. But I only do it to those who themselves do it to others and go about trying to give folks a hard time. The OP isn't one of those.

I'm a pretty poor speller myself, but I think it's worth checking if I want other people to read it.

But what if we can't catch our own errors?

Like with me, I can tell something is wrong, but I don't know exactly what. Is it "collateral" or "colatteral"? When I print, "beautiful," I have an old habit of sounding it out "be-a-u-tiful" because that's the only way I was able to spell it right when I was younger. I spent most of my life until a few recent years ago thinking that "interpret" was spelled "interpet"

So I'm lucky that I can often tell I got it wrong, but some folks maybe can't tell at all.

If I can't catch my own errors, I hope someone else will let me know. If I'm not sure about how to spell a word (pretty often), I open up a new browser tab and type it in to see what comes up or how it's autocorrected.

Don't listen to lyoll, I wouldn't alter a thing, the same archeologists will realize just how full of it people were when they excavate the hundreds of sparkling clean porcelain fixtures. Mighty funny meme!
