But seriously, I can hardly blame the guy for having four different spellings for the company's name. It's hard to proofread your own stuff; I know from experience that I know what I meant, so my brain fills in gaps that would stop someone else cold. Also, it's particularly easy to read jumbled words if the first and last letters are right, and all of his misspellings of Paizo were like that. So, yeah. Feeling for him.

I think it's acceptable to give him a pass on that, considering that a huge number of people on these forums think that AD&D 1e was actually the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

Still able to read that.
BOT:I found the complaint about the ads odd, like many here. I didn't notice the spelling errors, but hey, it's free advertisement, right?

I agree. He could have used the phrase "iconic red box" (which was the first RPG that I played. But to call it the original red box because it was the first red box edition he played is like me saying i played the original gold bound Players Handbook because that's the version i got - never mind that it wasn't the original printing in AD&D or that it was preceded by the boxed D&D set which had its own version of the 'players handbook' called 'men and magic'.
And yes this is the age of the internet. Ten - no five minutes on wikipedia fixes all this. to not do so is just contemptable laziness.
