I'll be the one who says it... There are too many typos in this piece (including the first paragraph) to take it seriously.

As far as the blog article goes, IMHO the typos are irrelevant to the expression of the idea of "begging"/being more transparent about marketing.

But with regard to the marketing effectiveness of the /yourhelp/ page, the typos are problematic.

Thank you! I'll take another closer look.
Your loss. :-/

A lot of what Peter says makes great sense and resonates with me.

Arh! That's terrible. I'm sorry. What typos did you find?

I noticed the word "ge" should be "get" so I've fixed that now.

Since you asked, the ones that jumped out at me were: "aweful" (should be "awful") "freckin" (should be "freaking", though that might have been deliberate) and "lifes" (should be "lives").

Does your CMS not allow you to use spell check? Most modern browsers support spell check in forms, so it shouldn't require explicit support. Even if you're pounding out HTML manually, all the HTML editors I've seen recently have spell checking support.
