    From the article:

    Avoid directly transferring your application and document, palette, and toolbar icons to your Mac OS X application. Such icons are inconsistent with the high-quality appearance of icons in Mac OS X; users will consider you application to be unprofessional or unfinished. Design carefully and take pride in your application's icons: In Mac OS X, icons are a critical part of your application's brand.

    Someone should tell apple that when you insert "you" instead of "your" in a document, it appears to be unprofessional or unfinished.
