I wonder what's really behind this phenomena. You were so distracted by a simple error, completely unrelated to the main point of the article, that you had to stop reading the article.
And then other people are reading this as this is a problem with the article and not a problem with your brain.
How, exactly, is this a problem with the credibility of the article?
If you're unable to look past a simple misspelling in order to get to the real meat of an article, you're going to have larger problems. The world is an imperfect place, full of much more egregious mistakes than this. Being able to deal with that is a fundamental skill.
It doesn't mean that. I don't know why you want it to mean that, but even proofreaders can miss things. You're rejecting the credibility of the articles based on something unrelated to the actual information the article is talking about.
Spelling has nothing to do with the underlying information.
Obviously you're going to justify this however you want in your head, and there are others out there who agree with you, but I think most people, when hearing that you literally couldn't read an article because of a spelling error will just roll their eyes.
