I know that blog post is from 2009, but it has a typo in the title and a typo in the first sentence. I'm not sure it's great content marketing for a company whose primary business is writing.

In Spanish and Portuguese "espond" means to answer. Perhaps it's a bit of cynical differentiation signalling.

If so, you'll certainly never hear their gratitude for pointing out the error so it can be corrected.

If not... hey, perhaps you will. Good luck.

100%. (Also involved on the proposing / applying side of grant writing here).
