Dan, I trust that all of my cache readers are hooked on fonics!!! Oops, spelled it wrong! Phonics! LOL. Remember in first and second grade and we can across a new or different word, the teacher used to patiently say "Sooouuuund it out."
Personally, I think emailing or posting someone to tell them that they spelled something wrong is rude, invasive and haughty, (unless the misspelling can be interpreted in a discriminatory or sexual way, which I believe is against geocaching.com rules). If a community member volunteers to do an activity that benefits me and my community's enjoyment, such as designing a new cache, going to the store to spend their hard earned on a container, camo duct tape, swag, log book and FTF prize, then spends more of their hard earned $ and leisure time driving to get permission, places the cache, writes up the description in a way that makes it attractive to other cachers, submits it for publication and agrees to maintain said cache, which requires more gas/time/energy expenditure, do I take then contact them to point out a spelling error or do I do their caches and say "Thank you for doing that. I really appreciate the effort you put into it!". Do I post that a cache is a waste of time because it is quick/easy/handicapped accessible (ie: guardrail and lamp skirts). I haven't yet and I hope I never get to that point, because if I do its time for me to reconsider what I am effect I am having on the geocaching community.
