Oh, I fixed the link. It was easy enough to figure out. It never bodes well when an author fails to proof their summary line, though.

It never bodes well

Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.

To be fair, it's very difficult to proof your own writing. You can look over the same mistake 3 times and mentally read in the correct word. It's hard to buy this betrays a lack of care when the author clearly put a lot of work into writing the code and documentation.

Part of the point of publishing open source software is that many eyes make bugs (and documentation errors) shallow.
