Wow, even after expanding the second example, it is still buggy.
What you think how many Y2K bugs I have fixed?
What day was 27th of december xx01? Monday, Sunday? Certainly 1901 was a different day than 2001. So ... does your elevator - which is shut down on sundays - work at 27th of december 2001, which is mistaken for 1901?
Claiming Y2K was FUD is biggest idiotic thing I have ever heard.

No I did not.
I did not say anything about mp3s. And I told you that three or four times now.
I certainly did not say that "I can here the difference". I said "people can hear the difference if a tone is acompanied by an overtone or not" that is all.
In fact I never heared a 320kps mp3, mine are all something like 190, don't know it in fact.

That has nothing to do with sloppyness.
If you know how to teach writing, publish a book and harvest a noble price. (Strictly speaking, that should be spelled Nobel, as that was his name).
As far as I can tell, people complain about spelling errors. But no one is able to teach how to avoid them. I'm tired about that. If I had children, the first thing I would do is bribe a doctor in attesting that they are legasthenics. So they don't have to go through the 'writing hell terror' I suffered as a young pupil.
As far as I can tell: superior reading skills cause you to make more writting errors, but perhaps that is just me.
