I found this while I was on digg.com:

I believe that this is a stupid idea and I hope that it is not passed.
Anyone else have an opinion about it?
now, why would they do this? It is completly stupid. Microsoft knows hat Linux and other open source exists, and yes, does try to eliminate, but I think it made Microsoft have better code than if opec source didn't exist. If you wanted to fight opensource software, you might as well destroy the interent (because what isn't you webscripting language but open source?)

I nominate that for the post with the most grammatical/spelling errors! 
anywho, I think its funny, and I hope it passes - <mumble>stupid f$%!%* french ppl....they should all die</mumble>
I always get criicized for my spelling when I can't use my laptop for posting (auto spellcheck for everything, and I mean everything). Anywho, as long as it doesn't interupt me
ever considered a simple re-read? you definitely would have cought most of that...
do you really think so, I am really bad in spelling/grammer.
I do think you would have cought some of these errors, here, lemme point some (aka, alot) out to you

"knows hat linux" <- "knows that linux" maybe?
"yes, does try" <- "yes, they do try"
"to eleminate" <- "to eliminate it" (need to eliminate something)
"opec source" <- "open source"
"opensource" <- "open source"
"interent" <- "internet"
"(becuase what isn't you webscripting language but open source)" <- "(because isn't webscripting language open source?)" - whew, that was a bad one to try and sift through
see? most are just simple little mistakes that are easy to spot, and even easier to fix - a simple re-read helps every time (thats what that big ol' preview button next to submit is for )
Didn't they try to pass this law in the E.U. as a whole over the summer? (And failed miserably
)
I believe the EU did try that. I hope this fails also

meh, its close enough that the true meaning was easily understood - I'm not going to nitpick over spelling as long as its easily read
