I don't give likes to things without a good reason, but I appreciate every writer that does these game takes. They watch the game, have to remember key points, maybe even take notes, find interesting topics and get piled on for a mistake that is easy to just read past. I wouldn't throw a 100 dollar bill away because it was creased and I won't criticize these guys who volunteer their time unless it's something that makes the story confusing.

I'm sure you meant it as an honest question but it just kind of set me off after Bingo even addressed it.

Sorry for the rant but I for one don't want to lose these hard working writers because of something as mundane as the odd spelling mistake. Kudos to Bingo and all the writers who take their time to do these for us!
