Reply to comment by randomFrenchDeadbeat in Pointing out spelling mistake leads to contempt conviction for Fiji lawyer by Mamacrass

Then one ought to hold themselves to a standard above contempt. Some jobs, employees don't get to make mistakes. A judge who can't admit they're wrong after being proven wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt ought to never sit on the bench. If a judge makes a mistake and doesn't catch it while proofreading, Judge ought to be called out. Then they don't make mistakes again. They want a job where they can coast by with mistakes? Okay, find a different line of work.

Pilots also don't get to make mistakes. Submarine captains. Parachute riggers. Bungee jump installers. If any of them make a mistake, call them out.

That is not the issue.

No idea why you talk about "cant admit they're wrong".

Unless you are reacting without having read said article... for someone who holds other to high standards, that would be pretty ironical.

Imaging requiring everyone else to do their utmost, all the time, and then reacting to a news article without reading said article ...

I did read it.

You can have someone who doesn't pay attention to details adjudicate your cases. I'll stick with those who at least put in the time to use spell check.
