Macosx.com Need's Your Support

Just a tip to the writer of this endearing pop-up. In English we don't put an apostrophe in a verb. So it's "needs" not "need's".

I'll donate my $15 if you put that right.

Jeez, you guys will do anything for money!

OK, I made my donation. For the benefit of others who are desperate to give you their hard-earned pennies, the donation page (it's important to make it easy for people) is here:

More typos here:
http://macosx.com/info/index.html

"We are comprised of two combined sites".
Should be "We comprise two combined sites". "Comprise" means "consist of" so you can't use "of" with comprise.

"While No Wonder has changed hands through the years and was scraped at one point.."

Or maybe it was scrapped?
