A Developers Security Bugs Primer

CowboyRobot writes "ACM Queue's current issue on Open Source Security includes a short article by Eric Allman of Sendmail on how to handle security bugs in your code. "Patch with full disclosure. Particularly popular in the open source world (where releasing a patch is tantamount to full disclosure anyway), this involves opening the kimono and exposing everything, including a detailed description of the problem and how the exploit works... Generally speaking, it is easier to find bugs in open source code, and hence the pressure to release quickly may be higher.""

Please punctuate appropriate with 5th grade

The title, "A Developers Security Bugs Primer", is incorrect.

Developers = more than one developer.
Developer's = the term following belongs to the developer.
Developers' = the term following belongs to more than one developer

We are supposed to learn this in 5th grade.

It is embarrassing that grown men, employed by the most prominent IT website, will publish an article where the title would fail 5th grade English.

If we are to hold ourselves to a higher technical standard, we should at least be able to spell and punctuate as if we have passed Grade School. I'm not talking about College, not High School, not even Jr. High, but Grade School.
