Report on Probability A contains a lot of discussion of William Holman Hunt’s The Hireling Shepherd. Really, what it contains is a list of art criticism on it. And now, in an art history course, the damn painting popped up on the slideshow. Oof, its really bad.

First of all, it’s “damned”, not “damn”, and “its” requires an apostrophe. Perhaps you might clean up your act before criticizing others’.

You’re right, pedant, it’s “it’s”, not “its”. “Damn”, though, is fine in colloquial English. Really, though, I fail to see the similarity between a typo and making bad art. Or were you pointing out my typo (and supposed misuse of English) in order to make me look unintelligent? Were you perhaps trying to suggest that anyone who might leave a typo uncorrected should be ignored because anything such a person might say is clearly not worth considering? Really?
