Does it bother anyone else when...

you see so many e-cig websites with grammatical errors and spelling errors in their ads or other places on the site? I can name more than a few I've seen in the past but it's not worth calling any one company out. I'm apparently in a bit of a complain-y mood and I'm only half serious about this because it's clearly not any sort of big deal, but it just so irks me when professional company's (intentional error) make mistakes like that <----. Maybe someone out there sympathizes with my near pathological urge for all grown adults that attended elementary school, especially those who design websites and sell products, to spell things right and know how to differentiate plurals from possessives. Granted, one of those companies that is a prime offender is one of my favorites-- I know, I know-- but still sloppy, sloppy, sloppy!

I think you are right on. And let's not be naive about some other things. There are more than likely some former illegal substance dealers who are now selling ecigs. Probably some ex-cons too as it's so hard for them to find a normal job. I am from the street myself, so I can't judge them. But I'm not naive either.

The web designers you are complaining about were busy hacking their Game-Boys during
freshman English. Now they rely on spelling and grammar checkers in their software to do
the work for them.

your avatar is priceless lol

I will oftentimes make errors when writing on my own and it is because one must never edit their own work. I will mike mistakes and not see them because I know what I think I said, even though my train of thought slipped off the tracks several miles back up the road.

you've made your point in the same paragraph you mentioned it in lol...i believe you meant to say "I make mistakes" sorry but the irony was just too much

On FireFox all you need to do is download a dictionary and you will have a spellcheck. Google chrome has one built in. personally I think there's no reason not to have one.

I've never had to download a dictionary with FireFox. It's already there and you can add words to it if so desired. For instance, I'm a software developer and a lot of the acronyms, etc. aren't in the dictionary and I add them to get rid of the ugly squiggly red lines.
