"The Chart API let's you really easily create graphs and charts to
embed in webpages."

not "let's" => "lets" ! (no apostrophe)

Everything up to "decibel.places - a programmer who can spell..."
seemed good-hearted and helpful.

Yes, that is the url... http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Chart-API/
- right in the header...

And Graham is right, I meant the suggestion in a friendly, helpful
manner.

I might suggest changing it to "enables"

Also, I think the "really easily" is a little misleading - it takes
quite a bit of testing and monkeying to get a nice looking chart

But I am not complaining or anything - the API is a really powerful
tool!

PS - it's not easy being a grammar constable:
