Dear Nit-Picker Pete: 
I don't have a lot of spare time to check for 
email typos etc. from my handwritten logbook. 
These emails are only for conversation's sake. 
I don't spell check either and really don't care. 
My official log is on a different computer than the 
one I use for email and already uploaded to LOTW. 
That's the only log that counts and it's correct. 
N2SLO can verify I correctly logged his FN30 there. 
Why would someone who never QSL's even care?
