Some online authors recently have noted along with the all time biggest online article submission website that some folks are purposefully miss spelling article titles in order to game the search engines and take advantage of Internet Users who make typos in Search Engines. Additionally if you look at an online article on an online article submission site and see miss spellings in the titles you probably are thinking; Tacky! But if an online article submission website makes a rule; No Miss Spelled Words in the Titles, then this is also problematic, as who decides? Some online before its time artificially intelligent inferior spell check? Next I wish to point out that using miss spelled words by dictionary definition is one thing, then there are Brand Names and brand names which become words like Kleenex or I FedExed it or Make a Xerox of this Please and then there are inventa-words too. All of which is to be considered writers prose or even free speech. I believe that the argument against miss spelled words is a lousy one, unless utterly abused in every article for the sole intention of gaming the search engines. However percentages should account for something too. I think making a rule against miss spellings is wrong and too arbitrary unless it is being radically abused. Further it is rule making for the sake of making rules that is very bad for progressive thinking and writing. Consider this in 2006. |
