I think they did it on purpose to see how many people commented on it.

As if I would - anyway, it wasn't me that mentioned a stand at all. Quite frankly, there were too many typos to mention which made me very sad

I'm sure a strongly worded, and grammatically correct, letter is in order.

Pedantic?
Me?

Groupcall also had a typo in their stand artwork.

One of the lines included "oft heir"

Sounds about right.

Das EDIT: Thinking about it, it sounds a bit sarcastic.

Like if [company] came to look at the DIY touch table and were impressed [surprise] with it, but insisted that their version is still better [bias].

Or testing an iDevice, commenting on excellent build quality and responsiveness but then bemoaning lack of flash support and concluding the MS Surface is better...

You SHOULD OF limited your pedantry years ago, then you WOULD OF been free of it and COULD OF had a normal life.
