Do they care enough?

A hosting company’s front page says:
“Hosting solutions starting at JUST $9.95 / month. If your looking to establish a presence on the web for the first time or if your an experienced developer we have a solution for you. We pride ourselves in offering advanced features for just a fraction of what other providers charge.”
But we do not care enough to know the very basics of English grammar and do not care enough about our image to spellcheck at least the sales pitch on our front page.
Wonderful. Not.

Ooh that drives me nuts! I drive by a McDonalds and their sign says “got a buck? your in luck.” I should go in there and tell them they need to add an apostrophe and an “e”!

I’m used to odd English, being in Japan, but that “your” “you’re” mistake does drive me a bit crazy online…how many years before it is accepted is the scary thing…
