    absolutely, but for a billion dollar company I think it's unacceptable, also why has it not been fixed yet, it's not like that page was just added today.

    they have so much focus on paid links that they cannot put any effort into proof reading their pages for grammar mistakes! :D

    how Google live up the pages with out proofread. if they write in word, even then also word gives the error of duplicate para or words.

    I agree that every one do the mistakes, but its not fare, if it passes through many editors.
