Apostrophee aspires to hugely improve the experience of cyberspace, by applying grammar and spelling correction to online content, especially blog comments and forum posts.

Too bad the article is a spoof.

Reflecting on why it has to be spoof could be somewhat enlightening. ;)

    Curt,

    Thanks for pointing out this article. As one of those people who can’t refrain from correcting errors in spelling and grammar whenever I see them, I couldn’t stop laughing. The perfect way to end the work day (I know, that is a fragment…)
