Hi Guys I was hunting for new server when I saw something hilarious which I wanna share with u guys.

Check out the URL below

http://www.rackspace.com/products/software/software_overview.php?ctid=0107-99999
Go read the last line of the Ecommerce Software section.

I guess it is the same typo mistake, like the one in the topic name itself? rackshack/rackspace :)

Bad english by Rackshack




What does that have to do with Rackshack?

Careful reading will show that it's not the first typo on that page -- start with the first sentence.

But neither that nor the one originally pointed out are "bad English," which should refer to mistakes in usage; they are typos. Of course, there are plenty of incidents of each on websites, so I think we should start a new thread about every typo or misuse of language we find on a hosting site. Maybe we can stop posting about every hosting site that looks a little like some other site with a "site copy!" thread, and do this instead.

Hahaha,

What a shame! Ive edited the message before I get sued.

Sounds like a plan. We could open a whole forum for this! Want to be partners? :rolleyes:

he he he! we all make mistakes i guees ;) That we do... I probably do more than most :stickout I wonder how many take the time to let the site owner know that there is a typo on the page though? Most businesses will appreciate that you took a moment to toss them an email about it. If they ignore your advise, well then you can come on over and make fun of them, but if they quickly work toward fixing the problem, then I doubt we should give them too hard of a time.

As a certain someone stated a long long time ago, "Let he who is without typo make the first post". (or something close to that anyway) :D

Unless you're prepared to have your own site (or post in this case LOL!) critiqued you may want to be careful how you handle it with others :stickout

I remember my greatest example of that was a personal site a few years back. There was a typo in the title on the front page (largest text on the site) that was there for close to 6 months before someone pointed it out to me. Why I never saw it is beyond me as it was pretty obvious once it was shown to me.

In the end it was a good lesson in spell checking your graphics just as much as your copy :)
