Isn't Notepad pretty much the only editor, online or off, that doesn't have automatic spellcheck? This is pretty ridiculous.

In any case, congratulations Fliggo! I hope my drunken insults concerning your failure to launch attributed to this climax ;)

My favorite techcrunch typo is when the first (or last) few _letters_ of a word are not included in the link-text for an href. Is it really that hard to select the whole word?
Check this one out: an intriguingly extreme case of redundancy.

It's pretty sad that the top rated comment on a Y Combinator forum about a Y Combinator site launching is about typos. Get off your high horse. Leave a comment in the post if you see a typo and we'll usually fix it within a few minutes.
If anything, it shows an opinion shared by at least a handful of readers, with a fast impression and comparatively high relevance. It is honest opinion, not some high horse. And if anything, said sadness reflects upon TC, and not YC, NH, nor the site in question. This is customer feedback.
