Yes, it does look extremely unprofessional to have so many errors. And it's compounded when so many comment attempts result in error messages. This is supposed to be New York City's top blog? Back on topic, I'd hate to imagine how hot it was. I've been stuck in an elevator alone for about 40 minutes. Didn't bother me since I knew the mechanics were on the way, but even alone, it got awfully warm in there.

Good grammar makes economic sense. I have sent links and recommended Gothamist to friends and 100% of them comment on the awful grammar and apparent lack of editing. Because of this I send / recommend less frequently.

Fer cryin' out loud, why don't you grammar/spelling police just create your own fuckin' city blog so people can go coo about how AWESOME the grammar and spelling is and whatever other ass-kissing attention y'all obviously seem to need.

a real anarchist wouldn't use a comma in their retort. good writing requires good grammar - those are the fucking rules! what are you, a big fucking crybaby?

how about banning the people that complain about grammar "nazis." Because you know, complaining about the lack of copyediting totally kills huge amounts of jews.

Is it so much to ask that the grammar nazi IP adddress's be banned from gothamist?

is it so much to ask that a three paragraph post not be riddled with missing words and grammatical errors? it seems like after all the criticism you've received, you'd finally go out and buy the AP stylebook or, you know, just proof read before posting.

as my roommate declared the other night... "what the hell is going on with the elevators!?"
