The Internet needs a proofreader
Is it wrong for me to be bothered by the fact that this article about writing grant proposals contains more than a dozen grammatical errors? Or that this article had so many, I stopped counting?

Batteries included -- for what they're worth
Why does a $30 cell phone bleep at you before its battery dies, but a $30,000 car doesn't?

Goes without saying
Given the technology available, why do I still have to give directions to pizza delivery people?
It seems that, no matter where I order from, I get a phone call from the driver because he can't figure out how to get to my house.
I suppose if I were out on some uncharted rural track, this would be necessary. But I'm only 1.8 miles from the nearest pizza restaurant. To get from there to here is one left turn and a right turn. That's it.
But I just got the usual call about needing directions.
They have my address. Even if they can't afford GPS devices for all the drivers, can't they use this site or this one and figure it out?
