Is it just me that gets put off by typos and other errors on a homepage? I feel like putting a little effort in to checking for obvious errors isn't too much to ask, but I may well be being overly snobby about such things, I'm curious.

The two examples here are:

> This color means it's rearching for that article.

I assume that's meant to be 'searching'

And: > This is an unofficial extension and not entitled by Wikipedia in any way

I'm assuming 'entitled' is meant to be 'endorsed'.



I'm assuming non-native writer rather than sloppiness per se.


I'd considered that. That would explain the second, but the first has to be sloppiness. If nothing else, if you want to produce english content, set your spellchecker to english.


I think the first one is meant to be "reaching"?


Both fixed, was my bad, if you see any other please tell me. Indeed non-native over here.


I agree. By the way, you typo'd "things" as "thinks".


Oh the irony. Corrected.
