I feel the same as OP in regards to spelling mistakes. It just erks me so much that I find it really hard to continue reading.

If someone hasn’t bothered to take the time to proof-read their work, what does it say about the topic they are writing about? I don’t mind if the mistakes are because they are learning English, but I’m talking about really obvious spelling mistakes.

Irks.

(I checked - TIL an 'erk' is a male member of the RAF of the lowest rank.)

Or did I just miss the ironic joke?

Not really. Writing style is an inherent part of journalism.

`s/\!\+/./` would cut it, though.

Is it Aggro? I took his comment as a criticism of the author for being playful, and I’d rather the author not get criticism for that.
