From above... "Hawk Wings was lucky enough to get a work over in her one of her first posts." I'm just playing of course. I was lucky enough to get a review today, and I'm sure I have some mistakes littered throughout my pages. It's nice that Claire gives us a little slack. How’s this for irony? From above…

You are quite right to call me out on the typos. It's a disgrace. Sometimes I get home from my real job and go at Hawk Wings lickity-slick without remembering to be my own proofreader and sub-editor. @Bill -- Quite so. Thanks to all for the very kind words :) @Claire — No hard feelings, I hope. You are quite right to call me out on the typos. It’s a disgrace.

I'm sure there are some, but far less than most weblogs, even far less than most quality mac weblogs. And the writing here is exemplary - far better than the subject requires. This is definitely the only mac weblog I read that has caused me to look up more than one obscure literary or historical reference on wikipedia, and I love a good obscure literary reference. It's probably one of the two best-written mac weblogs period, the other being Daring Fireball. Keep up the good work. P. S. Grammar nazis: I've included two typographical errors above, and used the word "less" when I meant "fewer," just to bother you. :) I find it odd that the reviewer bothered to mention typographical errors.

I don’t think you’re being very fair to Claire and the intent behind her site.
