Retiring Proofreader Nazi Spelling Points
For those obsessives among you who have the slightest idea of what I’m talking about, I’m hereby retiring the stupid Proofreader Nazi Spelling Points program, which seemed like a good idea for about five minutes (just over a year ago) but quickly became a big pain in the ass. Thankfully, even those of you who seemed to perversely enjoy participating in it haven’t tried to log any points in months, so I think it’s just as well we call it a failed experiment that ran its course. (The irony is that Steve Hall, the inspiration for the idea, still sucks at spelling as much as ever (lots more than me!) and never took up the challenge.)
For the record, here is how the final results stacked up (your moment of glory, Pablo):
- Pablo Montoya (13)
- Sonic Death Monkey (10)
- Steve Hall (who’s got some nerve even playing this game: 3)
- Sister Sue (3)
- Tom Hespos (3)
- Eurotrash (2)
- McBuk (1)
- Olivier Travers (2)
- Matt Peck (2)
- Drew Bacsi (1)

Good! Now I can go back to just pointing them out in my regular obnoxious fashion.
