I wish people would learn to write in advance of posting articles, not afterward.

> friends who I know

That would be "friends". Yes? Unless you have friends you don't know.

> practice good or even excellent password practices

"Practice ... practices". Yes, I think we get it.

> have had there [sic] logins compromised

People who only hear words, who never read or write them, famously cannot distinguish between the homonyms "their" and "there". A similar problem comes up with "site|sight|cite" and a few other common words -- but apparently they're not common enough to learn the difference.

And why point this out? Because learning to write before posting articles online is a sign of respect for the reader. It's identical to sloppy programming -- the originator rushes the job and saves himself a few minutes, but the program then wastes the time of thousands of users.

Ironically, pointing out bad programming methods is perfectly acceptable, but pointing out bad grammar is almost universally disparaged. To me, the two cases seem perfectly symmetrical, but this is a minority view.
