It doesn't hinder your comprehension at all so just chill. It appears to have been corrected by now anyway because I don't see "unleases" anywhere, I may just be overlooking it though. Oh but don't forget, anyone with a modicum of education would know that "spell check" is a proper noun as it is the name of a computer program, and therefore you would not say "to use a spell check." You should have omitted the "a." Of course it doesn't matter though, it's just a stupid mistake. I'm just unnecessarily busting your balls and wasting everyone's time. See my point? It is kind of an awkwardly written little article though...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2009 3:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/04/bill-gates-unleases-mosquitoes-on-tech-elite/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/04/bill-gates-unleases-mosquitoes-on-tech-elite/</guid><description><![CDATA[So just how much of your day did it take you to find uncommon words to put in your rant.

IN FACT, the articles author DID use the word correctly and also SPELLED it correctly. . . . <br><br>To be a CRITIC requires no education, training or knowledge of any topic or subject. . . It only requires a NEED to elevate one's self by the means of attempting to lower another in the eyes of others. . . A critic spends their time tearing down what others accomplish and are not inclined to DO for themselves or make any contribution to Society. . . . It may take thousands of people, each one doing their part, . . to create a finished product which has value and a purpose. . . It only takes ONE CRITIC to attempt to destroy it's image and popularity. . . Like an Automobile, Aircraft, Boat, Stereo, Computer, etc., etc., etc., . . . ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SMRTNUP]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 6th 2009 10:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/04/bill-gates-unleases-mosquitoes-on-tech-elite/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/04/bill-gates-unleases-mosquitoes-on-tech-elite/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thank you!

I also got viral menigitis, but in 1999.  I never figured out what caused it for sure, but the grass was being over-watered at my condo and that left standing water, so my best guess was that I had been bitten too.  Not a very smart move for such a brilliant guy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Julie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2009 2:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/04/bill-gates-unleases-mosquitoes-on-tech-elite/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/04/bill-gates-unleases-mosquitoes-on-tech-elite/</guid><description><![CDATA["What a maroon" is from Bugs Bunny.

Even if the mosquitos had been raised in labs all they had to do was bite one infected person and then bite another person and bodily fluids are shared. That is precisely how mosquitos spread disease. And, It's not as simple as going to the doctor and getting better.. some of these illnessess are life threatening, chronic, or incurable. AIDS and Hepatitis C are examples. The Meningitis I had caused some permanent damage. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Holly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 5th 2009 3:49PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
