    Default Spelling mistakes galore?

    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?

    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!

    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.

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