Was his message lost because of one spelling error?
Numpty.
In terms of world peace it probably doesn't matter but it is important and the ability to communicate is rapidly declining due to weasel words and other phenomena creeping into the language... using verbs as nouns, etc. We once used to have rain... now it seems it can't be rain without being a 'rain event'. This ridiculous language has detracted from the subtleties of English such as basic spelling. One hopes you don't have the same attitude to communicating critical operational information... "Oh, who gives a flying ------ was the message lost because I said 57,000 kg of fuel instead of 75,000 kg..."
It may seem petty and we all make minor mistakes like this but it should not just be dismissed out of hand - besides, I did not detect any hint of sarcasm in the person that offered the correction, your response however...
