That site really needs to hire an editor. The number of typos is ridiculous.

The writer is a professional paid writer.

That's the best comeback you can think of? Being a spelling nazi? That was a joke 20 years ago, it sure doesn't fly today.

Paid, perhaps. Professional? That blog post has a lot of issues. I saw repeated paragraphs, typos, and the content lacks analysis of the subject, and ends without a conclusion.

I don't disagree with the premise. I just think it's poorly written.
