YouTube To Kill IE6 Support On March 13

Joel writes "Over six months ago, Google announced it would start phasing out support for Internet Explorer 6 on Orkut and YouTube, and started pushing its users to modern browsers. The search giant has now given a specific kill date for old browser support on the video website: 'Support stops on March 13th. Stopped support essentially means that some future features on YouTube will be rolled out that won't work in older browsers.'"

There's nothing ignorant about promoting effective communication. The quality of one's writing improves as you are able to remove words or syllables and not lose any meaning. This:

Microsoft is niggardly

is less effective than this:

Microsoft is stingy

which is less effective than this:

Microsoft is cheap

All three of those mean the exact same thing, but the last one will be the most effective at communicating the message to the most people without causing confusion.

I guess you can see that as "ignorant is cool", but it's a basic tenet of effective technical writing.
