I have never really understood in this age of spellcheckers – (and similar) – in modern computer systems, how obvious spelling mistakes can creep into newspapers – both in online and print versions.
Of late, Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper has been particularly good at missing really obvious stuff, but it is a phenomenon that finds its way into many media outlets. Spelling and grammar is sometimes so bad, you wonder if anyone is proof-reading anything before the “publish” button is clicked.
“Enermies”? I mean, I can understand where the obvious “there”, “their”, and “they’re” errors are not picked up by spellcheckers – (since they are all correct spellings, just grammatically different – though proof-reading should pick it up) – but “enermies”?
Who checks this stuff?
