The grammar and spelling errors in this are embarrassing. Imminent is spelled wrong in the header of the very first page. Two grammatical errors in the email that went out accompanying this as well.

Do we really expect other people to take us seriously if we don't even take ourselves seriously enough to proof read properly?

Decentralized DNS (DDNS)
- Mike Ward from the CoinTelegraph contacted me and I/we are
working on bringing in a few other developers to help with this massive project. The DDNS
Working Group right now consists of 5 different companies and I am working to get their
contributions and
direction

there is no link when I click on "direction"


And yeah I also immediately spotted the imminent spell, unless you meant something else?

I've been a BTS holder since last September. Now that this project looks like it might actually grow legs, I decided to register here.

My point still stands. I, as an investor, would rather see no update than one that is not polished enough for the public and media's consumption. You are trying to attract all manner of people to BitShares - if you can't  be bothered to get simple details right - why should anyone expect the complex details to be right?

I must first search the link on google instead of opening it directly.

Didn't know we are about to have a USD gateway, well done

Immanent and Imminent are two separate words. Although they both might work in this situation, I chose to use "immanent" meaning "inbuilt and inherent" rather than "imminent" meaning "on the near horizon". I think that "immanent" better expresses evolution as it relates to BitShares. If I wanted to use "imminent", I would have perhaps said something like "an upgrade is imminent".

As for the grammatical error in the email, that was an accident for which I apologize. Cass and l work very hard to coordinate this volunteer effort across an ocean, a language and several time zones, and sometimes there are slight language barriers which result in copy editing errors. Thank you for letting us know.

Sorry for the harsh tone. I work in PR. Professional orgs that have the most success are also the ones that are the most buttoned up across the board. I want to see this project succeed.

I learned a new word today.  I always thought that "immanent" was someone misspelling imminent. :P

Flyers and Business Cards - I have created open source tri-fold flyers and business cards. The flyers have also been translated into numerous languages. Feel free to use them.

I thought that tri-fold flyers were created by emailtooaj.
