Typotard

Someone who repeatedly makes typos, such as in an instant messenger or chat room, and then corrects themselves. Particularly when the correction they give is wrong and for a simple word.
Not to be used on someone who "rites liek dis" (Txt tlk) because that is not a typo for them, they were intentionally being retarded.
