:: Typos ::
Once again I find the public is far smarter than I am.
It appears the Wadi List is FULL of typos. And I mean FULL. And this includes some embarrassing
ones like "Beacon instead of Bacon". And I never seem to find them. Can't see them, no matter how much I try. Even if someone who is with me at the time of writing reads it, he
can't see it either. Only the public can.
And this brings up some things to think about.
First, this is much like a lot of Start-Ups. In-house everybody loves the product, practically
anyone anyone within the company knows loves it. But the public sees right through and complains it isn't good enough. For the people within it's an enigma. For the public it's a
typo that stands out.
Which brings us to the second thing. A lot of times the public sees the faults and still goes
on and wants more. And some truth seekers ask - are they blind? Why do they keep on using something with such faults? Are they stupid? For the truth seekers this is Microsoft
Windows. For the public it is just a typo. Or Tipo. And they are not stupid.
And the last thing is that we might think we have just stumbled upon a need. A better Grammar
Checker with the right algorithms to detect typos. Well we haven't. The line between a need and a nice-to-have is thin but deep. Much like the difference between The Valley
and The Wadi.
Hell, this whole place is a typo after all.

P.S. - I will try to do better, I promise. Babylon - count my clicks - they will skyrocket. And
I'm sure you can find some typos here too. Nowhere to run.
