Error, spelling not technical bug

Hello,

First a huge thank you for the art, for the idea, for the technology, for a window into a new relationship with the weather!

I LOVE what you have all created here, it sets the benchmark for everyone not only for weather services but the standard for interactive media innovation generally has now also been set... in my opinion by you guys!


The following spelling mistakes on the homepage don't fit with your high professionalism everywhere else, so I thought I should draw your attention to them:

* Bottom of homepage, 2 links read "Whether forecast" and "Whether", Should read "WEAther forecast", "WEAther".

* On the help page for adding locations here: http://yowindow.com/location_request.php

...it reads "At the bottom of the request specify where have you found out about YoWindow.

Example:

"I have found about YoWindow in ComputerBild article." "


it should read "... specify where YOU HAVE found out about YoWindow,"
...and "I have found OUT about YoWindow in A ComputerBild article".

OK I don't like to be pedantic, but these small things don't match your high standards everywhere else as I said.
The English on the site is native-speaker quality, although I couldn't find evidence that you've used an English translator in the 'about' window of your plug-in. If you're Russian you can be very proud of your English capabilities.

So lastly, thank you and thank you,
And did I mention thank you?!

:))) Very, very pleasant post!
Thank you, Monas!
Yes, most of yowindow.com content was written by myself.
As far as I remember Jim and Marty corrected some of my mistakes.

I'm going to show your post to my English teacher :Yahoo!:

I will certainly fix all the errors you have found and, hopefully, will find.
Don't hesitate to inform me about any suspicious text you to find.
I do wish yowindow.com sound native and professional (the same way we think about YoWindow).
Thank you for the warm words about the project.
It is definitely unique and there are so many interesting ideas we did not have a chance to implement yet.
All the best for YoWindow is still to come.

The misspelling Wether was made intentionally to attract people who mistype the word on Google.
But I think we should to remove this trick cause it raises problems instead of helping the project.


I will only be able to fix the website errors next week because my primary laptop is in repair shop now.
I'm working on the secondary where I don't have an access to web authoring tools.
