Editing a farewell message would be the most un-classy thing one could do. Authenticity is worth far more than any spell checked version in a case like this and I'm really happy that they didn't fall for that trap.

Think about it, if there had been no spelling errors or typos or grammar errors, the whole thing would not only have looked perfect, it would have looked perfectly faked. Real life isn't perfect.

Presumably, not all of the writers have English as their primary language. And that is part of the beauty.

Why is he getting downvoted? Are you supposed to downvote whenever you disagree with what somebody says?

I didn't down vote, but it's probably because commenting on peoples spelling/grammar adds nothing to the discussion of a memorial page.

I thought it was interesting that Apple, who is usually so finicky about things being just so, apparently didn't filter or edit this data set.

To me, it took away from the experience, and kind of muddled the emotion I expect Apple - and the original authors - were trying to convey. I think it would have resonated more with me if it was a little cleaned up.

But whatever.

I think it would be more accurate to say that Apple know when to be finicky. This, it seems, is a case of when not.
