Transcription errors

I'm sure errors happen all the time when transcribing conversations and interviews. There are just so many nuances to the spoken word that it may be difficult capturing them in writing. That said, there are still mistakes that should be avoided like the plague. From Joystiq's interview with Epic Games President Michael Capps, speaking about company policy for programmers working long hours:

Please don't give me everything you've got right now cause your gonna burn out.

It's a classic your/you're mistake. I can only assume the error is on the side of Joystiq, since they are the ones reporting on the interview, and that Epic didn't provide the transcript.

Then, later in the interview, Joystiq records Capps making this statement:

In 2006, our voluntary turnover rate was 1.3%. In 2007, it 1.1%. In 2008 it was 1.03%.

Again, certain assumptions must be made here, but I feel justified in doing so. I think it is clear that Capps is an intelligent man and would not simply forget basic English sentence structure in the middle of an interview. Joystiq simply forgot to include the verb there.

Even further in the interview, Joystiq asks the question:

So what are your thoughts on, or I guess, more elaborate thoughts on the holiday release schedule – besides that it's terrible – and whether or not that has an affect on Epic as the provider of middleware for a lot of the games that are coming out during the holiday season.

In a single (albeit lengthy) article, Joystiq has succeeded in both a your/you're mistake and an affect/effect error.
