>Now, I'm not a rabid pedant - I don't jump on people for spelling things wrong or whatnot. But I *do* find it rather an abomination when a corporate web site - and even its ad banners - displays such sloppiness with the English language. I wonder what the actual cost of such sloppiness is; how many customers does that lack of attention to detail turn away? I know I'm less inclined to buy things from companies who show so little care for their publications. Anyone else the same way?

Absolutely. But I'm guessing the RinkWorks demographic is a little skewed in favor of respect for the language.
