proofreading... or not

Don't these people even spellcheck? See these three examples.

Select the Render icon and “Viola”

It combines the lack of punctuation with unnecessary quotes. It actually took me a moment to understand. I'm supposed to select an icon and some flowers?

Lighting is one of the most important influences in a scene. Spend allot of time experimenting with lights and you will find your renderings getting better and better. Some quick advise is to toggle off the default ambient light, add a light bulb and finally add a spotlight. This simple step will drastically improve renderings.

For a more “mysterious” look suttle lighting effects can be achieved by aiming lights on to the walls and ceiling of the room rather than directly at the model. The lights will the light effects on the ceiling and walls will be reflected on the floor and off of the model.

I wonder if their spellcheck highlighted "alot", so they added an "l" and moved on. They certainly didn't have anyone read it for them, or they would have discovered the part that doesn't make sense. Aside from the errors, the whole thing just has an unprofessional feel.

What if you want to pick a cello instead of a viola?

Quick advise...how about some quick advice instead...advice on writin' good, doncha know.

And this sentence doesn't make sense at all:
The lights will the light effects on the ceiling and walls will be reflected on the floor and off of the model.

Well, the mistakes were too suttle for them, I'm thinking.

I loves me some unnecessary "quotes" :)
