Missing a typo on a website is trivial, but it leads to wondering if they missed something more important. You don't want to see your investment impact the Moon

Missing a typo on a website is trivial, but it leads to wondering if they missed something more important. You don't want to see your investment impact the Moon 10x faster than it was supposed to because somebody misplaced a decimal point.

I would love to see one iota of evidence that the occurrence of typos in web copy is a good predictor of anything whatsoever. I mean come on, the plaque placed on the moon by Apollo 11 has a typo on it! http://timdroogsma.blogspot.com/2009/07/typo-on-moon.html http://timdroogsma.blogspot.com/2009/07/typo-on-moon.html
