The original sqoot post was comically riddled with spelling and grammar errors too. Who are these people?
One of the co-founders has a long diatribe about how awesome it was to have dropped out of De Paul University.
Perhaps if he had stayed in school, he would have learned how not to be a misogynist, and maybe figured out how to spell as well.

Always interesting when people buy into the legend of themselves so thoroughly.
Hey, I'm one of the co-founders of Sqoot. We're a small startup trying to do big things. Sometimes we trip and fall. This is one of those times. In hindsight, our language was reckless & immature. Please accept our apology & help us turn this negative into a positive.
