If you Google that misspelling ("Dustin Moskvitz"), it's a repetitive mistake that only pandodaily seems to make. How on earth can a publication spell his name incorrectly that many times, in multiple stories? Edit: They fixed it. It lives on in the URL, and a comment below.

Furthermore, the word "Moskvitz" sounds like one of the shittier brands of Russian cars. Probably not a flattering mistake to make.

Finally, a semi-relevent excuse to post the titles of Pando's last 7 articles, their misspellings included. "Dustin Moskovitz Doesn’t Plan to Leave His Wealth to the Next Generation" "Dustin Moskovitz: Asana Could “Certainly” Be a $100 Billion Business" "Dustin Moskvitz: Y Combinator’s “No Idea” Round Bad for Silicon Valley" "Dustin Moskvitz: Leaving Facebook One of the Hardest Things I’ve Ever Done" "Key To Facebook’s Early Success? Slow Growth, Moskovitz Says" "Dustin Moskovitz’s Worst Grade at Harvard Was a B+ in Intro to Computer Science" "Live From PandoMonthly: Sarah Lacy’s Fireside Chat"

  There is something about this that I really don't like. Usually we would reasonably expect one interview to be one article, it feels like they are trying to extract every possible page view and search engine ranking. Completely contrary to Sarahs started aims when it started.

    I completely agree. PandoDaily is not a serious tech news source. Never has been, never will be.

People put misspellings into their dictionaries. They don't know how to remove the misspelling. Thus, there's no red[1] squiggly line telling them there's an error. [1] Who chose red / green? I'm not colour blind, but I think these are not a good choice. Especially since the squiggles are the same - at least make the shapes different.

  > Who chose red / green? I want to say Microsoft, in Word, and green did not originally exist until later versions (if my memory serves). Not sure that they put spell check in a word processor for the first time (Wordstar?), but I think red underlining was originally a Word thing. I could be wrong. Anybody know for sure? Now I'm curious, and it's tough to Google.
