Bad Spelling Pays on eBay

peebeejay writes "People say that as long as they're understood, spelling is unimportant.

Dean also suggested that computer makers such as Apple Computer, Dell, Gateway and Sony should be required to include an ID card reader in PCs--and Americans would have to insert their uniform IDs into the reader before they could log on. "One state's smart-card driver's license must be identifiable by another state's card reader," Dean said. "It must also be easily commercialized by the private sector and included in all PCs over time--making the Internet safer and more secure."

I challenge you, Slashdot Editors, to reveal your true colors (red).

If any Slashdot readers support this movement, please continue to post this and mod it with any points you have! Our message must be heard!

Why are there only political messages on Slashdot which detriment President Bush and not any member of the Liberal Left?

FACE THIS CHALLENGE!
