    Typo in the article: fastr

    Suggestion: Try to use a spell checker before the article is published, maybe "aspell -c file" or "aspell -a".
    Yeah... did you actually try doing that yourself? This is a relatively short article and there are 15 instances of "misspellings", not including "fastr". This is a tech site. Every other word will be considered misspelled. Considering the diversity of software and hardware that is written about here, there's no realistic way to build up a dictionary of these terms either. If Michael did a complete spell check for every article, he would end up with more mistakes, because of accidentally making corrections that weren't wrong. A typo now and then is inevitable for a website like this. It's actually impressive how few he creates.

      His browser should simply underline errors in red, that would be enough to prevent the vast majority of typos.

        Agreed, but you could eventually "tune-out" the red underlines after seeing them all day.

          It's called "proofreading", it's done by humans without any help from machines. It usually works unless you are in a grave hurry, typing from a mobile device, or both.

            Or, as any writer will tell you: reading your own work. No matter how much you fight it, your brain is still going to silently 'fix' mistakes as you read through it.
            All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

              Aw come on. We are not talking of Tolstoj-size books with an engaging story you can lose yourself in, but of short articles of cold, technical matters with numbers.

              Anyway, "proofreader" used to be a profession back then, nowadays they are probably not employed anymore anywhere, if the low-quality writing I see everywhere is any indication (online and physical newspapers, blogs, and such).

              The sad thing is that it's usually stuff that average machine-based autocorrection would have detected and solved automatically.

                This basically cries for a benchmark for Intel all the way back to Haswell, maybe also compared to Windows performance!! 😉
