oh dear! - why don't semi-literate people spellcheck before they spend hours working on a design?

I like it. Nu Hoddnes™!!1!

BTW, I doubt they spent "hours" on "designing" that banner. Especially advertising a graphics program they could have tried to make it a bit more flattering.

Funny I've been looking at that banner for a while. It seemed so normal.

makes you wonder whether the 'z' in "eazy draw" was deliberate, after all

mind you, apparently earlier drafts were even worse!....

your title should have read, "I kan spel gooder then yuo!"

this place has plenty of then/than offenders.

Using "gooder" and "then" don't represent spelling mistakes. Those are grammatical issues.

But I thought about the proper usage of "than" in the title as well, and how you must have purposely left it in order to poke fun at the countless who can't figure it out.
