Well hey! Yes I do use Bloglines! I completely missed that feature. Thanks!
I wish more news sites had feeds...

Hey Hea! :) I think stuff like the slightest misspelling in something put out into the public by a well known or large group is rather shabby (hilarity aside) --the more well known or larger the group, even WORSE!-- and I've been known to shy away from internet purchases because of a poor editing job on a website. I know I'm not alone in this, it's actually a pretty common thing for people to judge based upon what they read and perceptions they form WHILE reading in regards to the editing issue, but I just don't see an excuse for poor editing.
Anyway, when I personally find little things like that, I can run a gamut of emotions/opinions about it. Humor, cynicism, disbelief, and disillusion are big ones.. I'm not trying to sound all stuffy about it, but it just seems strange to me.
Alright, I'm down from the "I'm an English major and damned proud" soap box.... ;)
