Spelling mistakes galore?

[Hecktix1]

just read this article: http://www.habbo.co.uk/articles/99-port-of-paradise

and tbh there are some errors:


bread of bears
They are know to offer luck I know its only 2 but Habbo are a professional company, do they always make errors like this?

Terrible grammar


The Paradise Islands are a small cluster of desert islands who's exact location is only known by the Captain and Navigator of the Habborella!


who's?

whose please

It is quite poor to be honest.

I'd get *insert unpleasent thing here* by Adzeh if i reported on Habbox with such appalling spelling & grammar and I'm not getting paid unlike the person who wrote that article!

[jesus]

well there is this thing you see, when you publish things in the public eye.
It's called proofreading.
This is where you, or someone else checks over what you have written, to ensure there are no mistakes.

Probably, wonder what qualifications you need to work for Habbo?

maybe one, but come on, it's a professional company, they should surely proofread properly before posting articles?

It is clear mistakes, they aren't stupid.

At the top it says "Bread of bear"
Bottom it says "breed" - correctly.

[Mr.Sam]

it appears that they are using msword for spell checks, people who use word and c+p from it usually have mistakes like that.

Habbos for people ages 11+ who cares?

Not many of the users would notice anyways.

If you are paid to do something would you do it do the best of your ability?

Curse their spelling mistakes.

Why can't they just be excellent at spelling, punctuation and grammar, and yet make the mistake of dropping 150 thrones into my hand? ;)

all about money with you.

they're typo's, not spelling mistakes.

[Finkelstien]

I really think that every article they post should be checked before hand. I agree, Habbo is a professional & well established company and really should pay attention to things like this.

As someone posted above, it is a site for 11 year olds, true, but then again should the management who run Habbo (18 and above) write like 11 year olds?

I usually notice grammar or whatever mistakes. Once HelKat said something like

Lets have an party
When she meant
Lets have a party

I guess if you look at it that way :p

No you'd do it the quickest and easiest way possible.

[cunning]

I disagree, if they hired someone who started today, I'm 100% sure they wouldn't publish something with any errors. If they've been working for years, I can understand a little mistakes. You can't say that for everything though. I wouldn't say that for myself either.
