Skitt’s Law
From RationalWiki
Skitt’s Law is a comment on the pedantry of some internet users.
| “ | "Any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself" | ” |
| “ | "The likelihood of an error in a post is directly proportional to the embarrassment it will cause the poster." | ” |
Basically, people who try to issue corrections (particularly spelling and grammar) are likely to commit the same offense themselves, usually in the actual post where they're making the correction. In a malicious sense, this is a declaration of hypocrisy, in a less malicious sense, it's just Murphy's Law - that if you're going to correct someone's typo, this will be that one, inconvenient and embarrassing time you actually make a typo yourself.
