[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 168726, member: 2175"] That fits right into the window of the onset of the demise of newspapers I think. I read a piece in which an editor boasted that reporters proofed, or "edited", their own writing, and then posted it online first before print. Gulp. As you note, adventure awaits and one can see the traps in just simple football message boards. We all at one time or another use the wrong word or tense or confuse words, mess up a fact or make misstatements -- just plain get stuff wrong -- but professional journals are supposed to have editors down stream to snare such egregious errors. At least we have an excuse. But just in sports pages I have seen wrong pennant winners, wrong bowl winners or years, wrong leagues and teams matched, not to mention scores and records. And that is the playpen, the sandbox. Just think about those errors in really serious writing. I suppose if there is no floor to what owners or publishers fear, then the gloves are off. A shame.
