RE: FLASH: Interesting site to check out

[Jason Bouwmeester]

Brian,


Wasn't saying it was inexcusable =0). Was just trying to point out a maybe

this is why... but I wasn't saying that that should make it acceptable. I

hear you, if I was to communicate to someone in French or Spanish or

Japanese, I am sure I would want my point to get across as accurately and

professionally as possible.

I was waiting for someone to say this.

If they're going to speak to me in English, they'd better do it correctly...

I don't care if they're from Beta Pictoris.

You may not be incorrect in your assumption, but it in no way excuses the

mistakes.

It's a damned shame to have such a great-looking site and have it marred by

spelling errors (and I won't go into the "U R" stuff). You can't just pay

attention to one aspect (the graphics) on a website and not give the same

attention to EVERYTHING on the site... as I said, it's inexcusable. A

website is a total package that says something about the person/people who

have put it up, and any fault is a fault, and it colors my impression of

what has been done.


Expect me to call attention to spelling errors in the future whenever I see

them.
