1.50 Downgrader for 2.50/2.60 PSPs Released

Cyraan writes "PSP owners rejoice! Hot on the heels of the recent exploit discovery & bricking that resulted from early test versions comes a confirmed working downgrader. The method uses a GTA eLoader that will turn any version 2.50/2.60 PSP, with the exception of those with a TA-082 motherboard (how to check without opening/voiding warranty), into a version 1.50 capable of playing all forms of homebrew. One thing that may not be mentioned specifically in the article: it is recommended you NOT use the 32mb Memory Stick that came with the PSP, as the process creates alot of log files that can fill it up, possibly causing a brick."

Obviously, given your atrocious spelling and grammar - just in this one post - you're just being humorous. But just in case you're not:

you must be able to parse incorect grammar and spelling because the majority of written english, on the internet expecially, contains atleast some errors

Then why are you bothering to use the word "incorrect?" Words mean something. Yes, language evolves. But clarity in written communication only occurs when - across the board - people allow words to mean the same thing, day to day. "Alot" is not a typo, it's a deliberate refusal to grasp that the phrase "a lot" is similar to "a bunch," "a batch," "a whole mess of," or "more than a few," etc. We don't say "alittle," "abunch," or "expecially" (woops, you use that last one).

It's the same sort of error that people make when they say "I could care less" when they mean exactly the opposite. They've stopped thinking about what the words actually mean, and are just repeating sounds... and then start typing them that way, too.

Normally I don't worry so much about it, but people who specifically flesh out the more technical part of our population not only should be better communicators, but poor skills in that area can actually result in buggy code, financial disasters, and all sorts of other real-world problems. It's about cognition, not typing. People who don't care, and that write embarassingly inadequate defenses of wretched communication skills, are contributing to the general erosion of critical thinking skills throughout our culture. And that makes for less thoughtful discourse, which leads to poorer decision making worse voting, and eventually the rise of Supreme Court justices that will say things like, "Never mind the facts, dude - how did the plaintiff's actions make you, like, feel? Were you like, alittle upset?"
