terrible spelling / grammar …
That’s a given in blogs like this.
But have you noticed an increasing number of glaring errors in articles you read in old media? Newspapers, magazines, etc.
Old media has been firing copy editors as rapidly as possible. My buddy Tom edited for the San Jose Mercury News. He took a severance package and is now working online for TrailSpace.com.
Why don’t more sites add something like this link used by TheStar.com:
Crowdsource their editing. Some type-A characters like nothing better than to catch those errors.

I have indeed noticed this, getting worse and worse.
Being the grammar and spelling cop that I am, I should seek employment in this field!
