Hello--PCWorld copy editor here, enjoying another fun-filled busman's holiday at PCWorld world headquarters.

The moment I saw the headline for this story in today's news crawl, I thought, "Uh-oh--I wonder how many readers have already commented on this [blunder]." The answer appears to be three. My apologies to all of you for the errant spelling from our weekend edit desk.

Thanks for reading!

Nice to see there are at least three human spellcheckers left around here. Personally, I'm trying to be a little more tolerant re typos nowadays.

Try 'PCWorld' instead of 'Pcworld' and automatically raise your own standards.

Don't hold back, artzy65--I find that tolerating typos only encourages them. I correct the ones that I see when reading articles--usually after-hours--for my Twitter feed (@PCWPluggedIn), and I'm glad (in an embarrassed way) when readers point them out, too. The first step toward improving the quality of our site's posted content is to care about it. Smart, articulate readers are the best!
