Congratulations to the team Bellkor's Pragmatic Chaos. Now if they could only spend some of their time researching how to make a page that doesn't look like it was coded by an 11 year old myspace user.

An example from the source

I dare say, if you can do what they are doing ~ your not to worried about perfect html or design.


or grammar, apparently ;-)

("your not to" => "you're not too")


I had exactly the same thought, word for word, when I read the comment, but I wasn't, um, inspired enough to post it and take the downvotes. ;)


No, you're right. I can't do what they're doing. However, my talents lie elsewhere so I submit to you that they can't do what I'm doing, so the point really is moot. It would be like complaining that a plumber can't cook as well as a chef.

That being said, HTML is a form of code (even if it is only markup) as it is a structured language and their solution is based off code no doubt, so there really is no excuse.
