Hmm, in the proper net.flame context, *does* two typos constitutes 
sloppy pros?  It has always unexaggeratedly been my humbel opinion, that 
that are sloppy instead of typoes, scrambled sentences.  Also, verbs
which doesn't agree with the numbers of the subject, and also which
have failed to agree with the tenses of an other verb in the sentence.
