I think there's an extraneous parameter in /this/:from Oh, and minor niggle, you haven't replaced :from in the final three examples. Also, please can you add localisation? The word "donut" makes me feel physically sick. http://foaas.com/you/%22donuts%22/lotsofcows

I too feel this pain acutely, to combat it I wrote a small and VERY basic JavaScript file a while ago to change this on the fly on a webpage based on your GeoIP location. https://github.com/MartinMcGirk/English.JS

The question is, which spelling do Canadians get?

Cute. But now you're on the hook to maintain it, and I can already see the abuse you'll have to take from your target demographic whenever this goes down.

Maybe the target demographic will become so dependent on this service, that they'll be unable to hurl abuse without it.

I thought this was going to be a list of all the services who can fuck off, like AT&T and Time Warner Cable, with an API to either: launch a DDoS attack at them, formally fuck them off by sending them a letter or a proper complaint to the correct address, while connecting your social media accounts with the correct hashtags- updating your status. Telling actual _people_ to fuck off caught me off guard...then I got the joke of applying an API to everything, especially if it's easier to do it in person...You should add mailing real letters if enough people request the service.

So you're ignoring customers in other countries because you can't communicate with them? Why are you not immediately hiring a native speaker/coder to expand your market there?

Or is it an IP protection issue in that you've found that certain countries (China?) will steal your evaluation code and run with it?
