Particular Daniel D. has got a peeve for us. "GoDaddy have been sending these emails forever, but thismiswording always hits me. This must affect millions ofcustomers, where they need to stop and think. And asSteve Krug says: Don't make me think.Conditions in email templates have beenaround like... forever?!"
Apparently, Daniel is annoyed by GoDaddy's use of thephrase "up for renewal" to described domain registrationsthat are merely eligible for renewal butare not actually scheduled for renewal. I getit, Daniel. I'm still mad about all the ways peopleabuse the word "server".

Clive P. is hot and botheredabout his thermostat."Not a web problem for once, but I'm worried about the in-homedisplay unit connected to my new smart meter. Firstlyit's mains-powered so why bother to show a message sayingsupply disconnected - if you can see it on the screen then the electricity must be connected. And second my gas consumption appears to be over 500 megawatts at present. It's different every day: sometimes above a gigawatt. A sanity check in the firmware would have been a nice touch - or even better not to use an uninitialized variable. Our supplier is Electricite de France (EDF) by the way, so perhaps something got lost in translation."
I'm American, so of course we still use British Thermal Units to measure gas. I guess Watts of gas must be a metric thing.
