What does it matter? It was recognised by others what he meant, and they 
answered his question, that's what we're all here for, to share 
information.

We are NOT here to be petty minded about how people phrase questions or 
what the questions themselves are about, both of which contribute 
nothing whatsoever.

If you're just going to be negative and petty in your comments (and you 
seem to be alone in that stance), and if it bothers you that much, then 
why bother to read the posts, or more to the point reply to them?
