Minor bitch about Velocity homepage
Hey,
Major personal issue (one of many :) minor real-life issue:
The IntelliJ and Cotsec powered-by blurbs say "it's" where we really
mean "its"--"it's" means "it is", "its" is the possessive form.
Don't worry, CNN doesn't get it right either, and they don't bother
thanking me for my proof-reading diligence, the schmucks :D
Dave

Now, now. Did no-one besides Robert get my (admittedly fairly dumb)
grammatical joke?
I am sympathetic to Jonathans point. In regards to his question (where
would we be?), clearly the answer is that we'd be their already.

Yes, in the appropriate diff format. Also, it should be filed in
triplicate under the relevant classification rubrics: "English grammar",
"basic literacy", "general nitpicking",...
Once the request has been reviewed by the initial review panel, it will
pass on to the next stage, a general discussion followed by a vote. As
Will suggests, by going through the proper channels, some action will
eventually be taken.
Just remember that process and methodology are the most important
things. You've got to follow the system. Where would we be if such
changes were just made in an undisciplined, slapdash manner?
Regards,
Jonathan Revusky

I suggest you put it into Bugzilla. If its in the system, someone (I'm
sure) will fix it eventually.

You are 100% right. I know the difference, yet I seem to make that
mistake often.
Fixed.
