Meh. Now, if they could make a robot out of good Swiss chocolate...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Using data from millions of its subscribers, Microsoft recently rounded up a list of the top 10 grammar mistakes in the English language. "This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."
I'm so glad "passive voice" wasn't included.

Everybody knows that the passive voice should be avoided.

Damn grammar Nazi's.
I wonder if they also wonder what I ate for breakfast?
Why use their powers for evil? Instead they could be advising me of the good looking women in my area. After all they know our likes and dislikes they could match us.

Quote: 1. Leaving too many white spaces between words
That's not a grammatical error; it's either a typo, or intended for emphasis.
2-8: yup. Some very.
Quote: 9. Commonly confused words
That's not a grammatical error, it's either a mistake in word selection, a typo, or a spelling mistake.
Quote: 10. Incorrect verb form after auxiliary
Example: They had ate when we arrived.
Correct: They had eaten when we arrived.
Baaaaarp!
"They had eaten before we arrived" -- "when" implies "after" or "as a result of" (e.g. "B happens when A happens" does not mean that B can happen first).
Skitt Rulez!

They missed the one that annoys me most of all.
It annoys the hell out of me when people write 'must of'. And it's so common it's almost as if it's acceptable now.

Companies like Apple, Netflix, Google, and Dell are 40% more productive than the average company, according to research from the leadership consulting firm Bain & Company. Fewer meetings?

The main reason is they can afford to hire enough people for the job at hand.
That way their employees aren't exhausted from working two people's worth jobs each.
Either that or the rest of us are morons who take ages to get things done.

Their point about Apple OSX misses the gargantuan point that they started with BSD and were willing to render everything before it incompatible (even while accepting that Microsoft is bloated) and even then, I think OSX sucks.
And where is Apple's brilliance when it comes to an IDE and dev environment that doesn't suck? As a native C++ guy, I find VS 2017 a disappointment, but it's worlds better than ANYTHING Apple has come up with.
So, I'm not convinced.

Google and Dell really stand out among the four, though.
Google produces bugs much faster than any of the others, and Dell produces bloatware far more bloated than the rest.
Now let's include adobe, ms, and big blue in the mix...

Good news, they have created a memory chip with a density of 20 godzilla bits on a substrate the size of a pin head.
Bad news, the sensor to read/write the thing is the size of a nuclear reactor.

Its unmanned Pouncer prototype that’s currently in the works will have a wingspan of nine feet and be constructed of various “foodstuff” to drop supplies and then itself into territories in need of aid. It's a bird! It's a plane! It's lunch!
