English bad, mmmkay?

From developer Infinity Ward (Call of Duty) comes this English-retarded entry:

Insert boring update about some mundane 'what we're doing' detail that no one actually cares about (such as new employees or kleenex testing) because they're just reading these updates for the glimpse hope that we'll slip and say something we're not suppose to about our next title, or that we're going to allude to the fact that maybe, just maybe something that actually is interesting is coming up in the near future (and by near future I mean next Saturday).

Amazing Things To Happen On April 28th:1758 - James Monroe, 5th President of the United States is born.1788 - Maryland becomes the seventh state to ratify the Constitution of the United States.1932 - A vaccine for yellow fever is announced for use on humans.(Then nothing really happened for a long time.... but now....)2007 - What goes down this April 28th is equal to, if not surpasses, the magnitude of any of those.Whose ready?!

Apparently basic English skills are no longer required to make press releases, they now let any monkey with a keyboard do it.
I am by no means Captain English, upholder of all the rules, but damn people, use a frickin' spell checker and make sure you don't make glaringly obvious mistakes.

Whose ready? I don't know, whose ready is it? It's not my ready.
