Annoying Gusty Gibbon Typo's

[bigb_thedestroyer]

I hate typo's in a finished, stable product. So Identify typo's, big or small...

In the Update Magager at the top of the screen, there is a huge glaring typo at the top of the window. "IYOU " ..blah blah

Share your annoying typo's, but not the typos in my post!!! :-D

That typo isn't in mine.

"Gibbon" ?

As in " I ain't been gibbon enough time to work this out".
:-\"

I'd post a screenshot, but I uninstall Gusty last night and put Fiesty Fawn back on my lappy. Maybe It will be on the Live CD, I'll look when I get home tonight.

This thread has too much irony for me :p

This is the kind of thing you can fix! Grab your language package and fix it!

So you hate typographical errors, but you are allowed to have them on your post, knowing they are there, and not even correcting them? Nice :lolflag:

This thread isn't meant to open the door for attacks from you or anyone else. I wanted to start a topic about something I find annoying. The fact that I have spelling mistakes or typos in my post has nothing to do with what I'm asking, yet it is ironic.

I type to fast and don't check my spelling! Big deal, I'm not writting for my English teacher where my success or failure could result because of a missing comma or a misspelt word (Magager!!) Im writting for a bunch of blokes that have the time to come read a forum on their lunch breaks when they want to have some fun and take their minds of their work.

Neither are the developers.

The developer of update-manager is German. In all the other releases, I sent a patch to him to fix any issues I saw with it, this time I didn't.

[cmat]

Its silly but it should be fixed by now. I posted this a while back, put it in launchpad because I was too lazy to make an account.

I have to side with everyone else on the "typo's" thing.

I think this has been fixed in bzr, as I can't find the issue.

This isn't a typo thing (this thread just reminded me), but who on earth was it that suggested "Freak Frog" (somewhere on these forums) for the next release back before Feisty came out?! That rocks!

(Sorry, we now return you to the scheduled program...)

[TomMK]

Not in Gutsy, but these really get my gibbon, so to speak!

loose instead of lose (very common)
to instead of too (or vice versa)
your instead of you're

[osxcapades]

In the OP's defense, he/she does have a point. It really doesn't matter whether or not he/she makes a typo in an informal post, but it really does matter whether or not you have typos in final software releases.


Neither are the developers.

Then the developers are blithering idiots. Of course, there is little doubt the antecedent of this proposition (the assumption that the developers actually aren't concerned about errors in their English) is false, so it doesn't matter anyway. Canonical, after all, wants its product to be taken seriously.
