It should have a period or exclamation point, though. No good reason to put the numbers in parentheses, either. I can excuse the title case, personally... or I could if they'd managed to capitalize "than" as well. Points for not using "then", though.

The word “Your” should be “you’re”

and “Dumber”, “dumber”?
