I hear ya, bruthah!;)
I will sit down at my computer with a small, neat idea in my head, put my hands on my keyboard, and blink my gritty, dry eyes several hours later, looking up at a few K of text that *something* typed but that I don't remember at all.
So you feel that it's right and proper to ignore the _content_ of a post simply because the _rules of the language_ were used improperly? I, for one, disagree, saying that one must not criticize someone for their improper grammar and/or spelling if the ideas they express are logically sound.

p.s. Who appointed _you_ the Grammar Brat? That's _my_ job!
But still, it's not exactly an interesting article:
"Blah blah blah blah blah blah [Lucasfilm did the battledroids vs. battlejars scene by hand] blah blah *whine from the IT dept.*"
They could have posted _hand-typed excerpts_ or a summary and saved _themselves_ bandwidth and HD space and _us_ time.
Um, would anyone care to download that image and OCR it, just for fun, and then email it back to them to show them how much space they would save?
[I can see it now: a 'text only' link at the bottom of the page w/ the image on it.. doh!]

No, the crapping out was Windows; the 'started working' was sheer miracle.
