This is moot poll because it already happened.
I accidently types in a submission as JT Comica instead of JT Comics (A next to S and I proofed the description and somehow missed the title error)
But I am curious what you would do on an obvious acceptance that has a title typo. I do feel bad because it took a while the first time in voting so lots of people missed an acceptance and second time it sailed thru quickly

Why would you reject nomination only because of minor typo?
So long as the nomination is still legible and the typo doesn't result in something that's accidentally offensive, then I see no reason to reject it. Edits can always be made to fix minor issues.
There are lots of reasons apart from a typo for someone misspelling some words.
I always accept those.
Just one letter of is fine. Other people will notice and can edit it.
I have to say, I will tend to reject if there's a typo in the title, less so if it's in the description. It may seem harsh, but it can take ages for a title or description edit to go through - it's usually quicker to resubmit.
Now, I have submitted plenty of wayspots with typos and had them accepted.. and am now stuck with stupid-looking titles. It can be hard to get the spelling right if submitting the wayspots in the field, but if you upload them all in a batch you can more easily check for typos and improve descriptions and supporting information, assuming you are using the desktop browser version of Wayfarer.
Maybe the submitter was only passing that location and they won't come back, so you have rejected that nomination forever.
