I think that's a little old.

Considering he is the co-president of the HD DVD Promotional Group of North America, of course he will say that. Why Universal is still with HD DVD? They're stupid.

Ken Graffeo: Well, we heard about the whole move when everyone else did -- when a lot of us were on planes flying to CES in Las Vegas. To be very honest with you, we have not addressed that yet -- Warner is still releasing HD DVD titles up until May. Warner has always been in two formats, and prior to Paramount's switch, they had been in two formats, so now that Warner is exclusive... we just haven't addressed it yet.

ROFL this sounds like he doesnt want to answer the question lol

Some people are just dyslexic. They write words based on how they sound instead of how they are actually spelled. Can't blame them for that.

I blame people for spelling mistakes. Come on, Google toolbar has a FREE spell check built right into it. If you are going to post something, at least appear intelligent while doing so. Makes me wonder if a bunch of the people posting here even graduated high school.

KenThompson · 01-23-2008, 08:59 PM

Same old stupid talk from a highly placed moron. How can I get a job like his where you don't have to be accountable for diminishing sales and picking the wrong horse. Clearly people with PS3's are buying movies but he still can't come to grip with it.

Yes they are rampant. I tried to find a thread that had a spelling mistake in the title and another obvious one in the OP's first post, but I can't find it. I was going to correct both errors, but I was afraid of pissing someone off. There are frequent grammatical errors here, also.

181 · 01-23-2008, 09:02 PM

There is a difference between a spelling mistake and dyslexia. People with dyslexia cannot control their spelling. They process verbal and written language differently than people who are not dyslexic. They obviously can't tell that they are spelling it correctly, otherwise they would.

Regardless, the post title looks more like a spelling mistake or typo.

Not to continue derailing this thread with spelling talk (though this article from the OP has already been discussed on this forum a few days ago), but one of my biggest grammar pet peeves is improper use of "they're". It seems to get used often in place of "their" and "there"
Ex: "Hey, look over they're!"
"Was they're ever any doubt?"

What with how stubborn he's been in accepting the future of HD Movies, I've always imaged him as a cantankerous old cuss, kinda like an Ebenezer Scrooge - throwing around "bah-humbugs" all over the place.

Now that I see what he really looks like, I must agree - he has the total jerk face of a true loser. A stubborn old man is understandable, but this guy... I just want punch his face in.

I really hate when people refer to companies in the plural sense. Instead of saying "Sony is" they say "Sony are"
