Hey, SEF, I thought you might find some of these mildly amusing...

Proofreader's hall of shame
SEF Posted Mar 1, 2004
I'm surprised they've found so few! 
I'd have to report much of h2g2. I'd mostly given up on the staff getting more competent or even a better attitude to make it worth reporting things on site.

Hey...
I found your link to the Hall of Shame in my server logs. Good to see people enjoying my collection of typos, even if it is rather sparse... I honestly just started it off as a personal obsession, compulsive proofreader that I am, and it kind of took off from there.
Oh, and no, I didn't sign up here just to post this... 'twould've been such a waste of effort and resources. I've actually been a member of the site for a while; I'm just an *extremely* sporadic visitor. Want proof? Look up 'all your base are belong to us' and see who wrote the first entry. Hee.
Oh yeah, and speaking of old video games, I converted various old 8-bit and 16-bit game fonts to TrueType format ; I specifically mention this because one of them, in particular, has an H2G2-inspired name.
