i also find it strange that editors/writers are thanking the people in this thread who forgive and almost encourage laziness and tardyness, unbelievable. You should be slightly ashamed and pushing to return the quality to its previous state rather than looking for validation to continue with substandard QC. No-one expects every article to be perfect but every single one with a mistake?

We are not complaining about this to have a personal dig (well maybe a little bit now), we are complaining because we have grown to expect high quality and we are seeing it slipping.

Folks, as always, we're taking these comments on board.

The quality of HEXUS content means everything to us, and it's great to hear that you, the readers, expect nothing less than the best. Our small editorial team works hard to deliver the content you want in a clear and concise manner, and I'm sure you all appreciate the fact that we try to go the extra yard to meet any requests that are made.

In regards to the increase in erroneous spelling, we hold our hands up, we apologise, and we're working to improve the situation. We recently increased the size of the editorial team and the change of staff evidently hasn't taken place quite as smoothly as we'd hoped.

Thank you to all who flagged this up - it's as important to us as it is to you.

Team HEXUS.

Seriously the only reason you have for making comment is to comment on grammar? Since the majority of people that read these articles have a brain I am sure they can figure out what is intended to be written and they probably don't care about the errors. I personally could care less about grammar in an article or otherwise its not going to save the world or indeed destroy it. I do find it odd that people take the time to complain about it though I mean seriously is it really that bad?

You couldn't care less. If you "could care less", the one thing you are stating is that there is room for you to care less than you currently do, which is precisely the opposite of what you really mean.

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

It might be pedantic to point out that: "The board reflects ASRock's customers desires" should be "The board reflects ASRock's customers' desires," but the ability to write correctly and unambiguously is one of the most important skills a human being in today's society has to learn. Admittedly, I write this from the standpoint of an academic scientist, not a manual labourer, but in many professions, it's essential not to be misunderstood. Taking care over the smaller things - incorrect spelling and grammar, for example, is usually a sign that you also take care over the more important things; that's why I always insist that PhD students, for example, work hard to make sure their written documents and presentations are free from these small, annoying mistakes.

However, the standard of writing at Hexus is generally pretty good, so please take my post only as constructive criticism!

EDIT: it's good to hear that you're taking these criticisms on board!

Sorry, Roo, but it had to be done: You're missing the second "-".

(I do, however, agree with all of what you said in the above post.)
