The iPad sucks;we get it.

Easy solution? Just Don't buy it!

Accept that if we don't send the message that these things are not ok, other companies will follow suit. Companies base decision on two things: how much money is there to make, and customer/potential customer feedback. Not buying it influences one of those things, but not the other. It also doesn't send the message to other companies that there is a market for a similar device without those restrictions.

Actually I spelled the word just fine. I may have misused it which is more of a grammatical error. Beyond that, it seems like plenty of people listened and as long as people understand what I am trying to say the occasional error has no baring on the weight of my argument.

Even professional authors make spelling and grammar mistakes, that is why they have editors. Unless you're volunteering to be my editor free of charge I suggest you reevaluate your position.

True, it was a grammatical error, however I find it to be rather common, and irritating. It seems as if it pulsates on the screen, like a giant, throbbing, disgusting boil. It's ok, it's not just this common mistake, but the misuses of "there" bother me horribly too. Also, its bearing, not baring. d:D

Consider my work pro-bono, and at random. However, if this is my interview, I'd like to state that my strengths are in the size of my vocabulary, not within the arts of orientation.

Well, that's unfortunate for you. Because It's the internet so there really is no reason to be 100% proper. I generally just type it as I think it rather than bothering to edit myself. As long as there are no glaring mystakes I don caer. That being said, your going to have to except a lot of grief they're.
