Wikipedia To Dump GoDaddy Over SOPA

Reader jampola points out that Wikimedia's Jimmy Wales last week said clearly what was only hinted at earlier in the month; now "It's not only imgur (among many others) who are giving GoDaddy the flick; it also appears Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikimedia, will be making the change. While unsure to what effect Wikimedia utilizes the services of GoDaddy, I imagine this could very well be another public blow for GoDaddy in the wrong direction over their decision to support SOPA."

    It's not spelling. I rarely make typos and if I do, I almost automatically correct them. When writing quickly I have a tendency to drop random words. I have seen it with happen with others too so I have no idea where it comes from, but I'm not alone with it.

    In case you actually need some help reading the original line, it is supposed to say:
    I can't but be happy with their service.

    I'm the same. Dropping words is seemingly easy for me, as is substituting improper words (wrong tense, etc). Typos seem to stand out for some reason and are thus much easier to correct, even without a spellchecker.
