spelling, grammar, and law firms
> Zork, it has always been considered poor form to criticize spelling and grammer on the web.

mighetto, that's not true. It's considered poor form to criticize people who don't get paid to post for spelling and grammar. FYI, "grammar" doesn't have any e's.

Zork is pointing out that one of CNET.com's paid resources has posted without proofreading. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me for professional journalists to use software to proof their stories before posting. I had this novel idea that there might actually be copy editors looking over material before it went out.

Where did you get the idea that "no business man is allowed to own a law firm"?
