You said this after I said how it was still wrong.  You did mean that it was fixed, but now are half-assing out of it, and are trying to pull on a technicality that isn't applicable.  If you meant it was partially fixed, then you would have said, "yeah, Danielle changed X but didn't fix Y."  However, you only said "it has been changed yesterday."

 The word 'change' means that you originally had A and you now have B. You can't assume that when something has been changed that it is now correct.
 
Yes you are correct, I implied that it was fixed. However the wording that I used is still correct in that situation.

		 Jesus. You said "changed."  We were not speaking about one error, we were speaking about the apparent multiple errors.  If there was a single error, it being changed would be correct.  Since there was more than one error, whether you were able to recognize it or not, it is incorrect. 
 
Edit: Furthermore, I can assume that when something is "changed" it is now correct.  This is because we were speaking about the numerous errors in the job-add (ironic?) and as such, fixing or changing the errors would have corrected the document.

 The error was referring to the e-mail address and I was also referring to the e-mail address when I said that it was changed.
 
I have taken tests where the teacher changed the question, however it was not correct and he had to change it again. Therefore you shouldn't assume that when something is changed that it is correct.

 The email address is still incorrect.
 
Are you looking at the right page?  I see " [email protected]..."
 
MacSinsiders was the thing that was mis-spelled to my knowledge.
 
Your teacher incorrectly changed something.  That is different than changing an error in spelling.  Changing a question from 1 + 1 = 3, to 1 + 1 = 4 and realizing it is INCORRECT is not the same as changing a spelling mistake and saying "it has been changed yesterday" in a body of text.  Ergo, changing a spelling mistake and saying it is "changed" when indeed it STILL is not, does not hold ground.

 It was spelled " [email protected]" before it was changed to that.

 It's still changed even if it's wrong. If the letters are no longer the same what do you say? You say that it has been changed.

		 If you were to say something is changed, with the implied sense that it is now correct, and you know that it is STILL incorrect, I do not see why you wouldn't mention that.  You should have said: "The one letter was fixed yesterday, but its still screwed up" instead of "it has been changed yesterday".  (I should note that after using your quote multiple times now, you still did not fix the poor english).  I hope you see the difference.  Forget about the changed = correct/incorrect BS for a second and think about this. I am just trying to help improve the clarity of chat around here. 
 
I am becoming greatly dissatisfied with the Macinsiders "Senior sinsiders agents".

		As a kind of conclusion to this rant I'd like to make one final point. 
I think that there should be something for employers, say a website, that has the do's and dont's of employee searching.  It could have useful articles and tips pertaining the employee search.
 
Something like:  http://talentegg.ca/incubator/
It could have neat tips like spelling the email address correctly so you don't get 100 missed applications and set a negative image for your company.
 
Hey, didn't someone around here work for them?

 I should mention that I'm not angry or trying to provoke you or anything like that.
 
If you feel as if I'm being an ass or something then I'm sorry and I'll just stop debating with you.

 It's all good, man.  Sometimes I get riled up over little things (see avatar).  Just nice to spice things up once in a while :p

 I agree, while some people get frustrated or annoyed by these things I enjoy it, I enjoy it. It's a good way to get other people's input and to try and get yours across.
 
By the way, I understand what you were saying with the implications. But without implying anything the wording is still right :\
