Please correct the syntax errors and poor logic in your job description.

Example 1:

Don't "HATE HATE HATE" anything, even IE6. Hating it is inefficient and wastes cycles. Deal with it or ignore it. Furthermore, practical people who find hatred inefficient will find your negativity offputting.

Frame it in a more positive light. "Would you like to be able to pretend IE doesn't exist and live in the joy of Chrome?" Essentially the same message as "Do you HATE HATE HATE Internet Explorer?? Do you love love love Chrome?" but way less negative.

Example 2:

"Lightening" is the gerund form of the verb "lighten," as in "lightening someone's load." While reducing someone's load will make them faster, I'm pretty sure it won't make them "lightning" fast.

Thanks.
