Correct typo! And change SHOUTING to **bold**.
Don't downvote just because someone posted screenshot.
- I've seen comments of admitting to downvoting a post just because that poster posted screenshots.
- If someone is writing math, then they ought use MathJax, not screenshots.
But if you're quoting someone else, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ALLEGING SOMEONE ELSE MADE A TYPO OR MISTAKE, then screenshots are more reliable. I want to see what that person wrote exactly, not what you transcribed that person to write.tack Exchange has too many questions when the issue is that a poster mistyped someone else's writing. If they didn't mistype, the poster wouldn't need to ask the question.
