July 6th - Website Defacement Day?

Posted by simoniker on from the season-of-mass-stupidity dept.

pabl0 writes "According to an article from SFGate.com (San Francisco Chronicle), a challenge has been posted, inviting web-site defacers to alter the content of as many web sites as possible on July 6th, with an apparent limit of 6,000 websites per contestant. Looks like this would be a good time to make sure all those web-server security patches are applied!"

    In your title, you make a pretty understandable spelling mistake with the word "wrecklessness"

    The correction to your spelling is similar to the correction many people worldwide would like to make to the US government: Drop the 'W'

    I can see where the idea of "wrecking" things would lead you to "wreckless" behavior, but this is incorrect. Dictionary.com lists the origin of 'reckless' (its correct spelling) as:

    "Middle English reckeles, from Old English rcelas. See reg- in Indo-European Roots."

    Perhaps this is a pun, GrammarFairy is often humor impaired, but I provide this information for the public benefit as well.

    Grammar Fairy Dust for you: .,'"`'.,.",:,.'"".,.
