Wow, that was fast!
I have a more general question about posts like this — where you highlight a problem with a web site.
Is it fair for me to post this on my site or should I have emailed the site in question to tell them about the issue? After all, what web site is without problems?
I kind of see posts like these as 'teachable moments'. There are so many things to do when building a web site that it's helpful to the larger community to point out what happens when you miss a step.
Or am I just rationalizing my being overly critical?

They made a mistake, they fixed it so there is no need to make a comment about it.

But look at all the other grammar problems in the copy. It looks like they translated from one language through babelfish.

I've browsed a little more that website and its full with grammar problems , as Roman Rentuk said they probably translated the website with an online translation tool. They are from Argentina... i think.
Anyway the website looks good.
