I don't know, but I've seen a LOT more basic typos, grammar screw-ups, and obviously incorrect "facts" show up in the news and in articles over the past five years or so. It's like they've decided they can save money by not hiring editors or something. Or they've gotten lazy, thinking that passing something through the computer spell-checker covers the bases well enough that they don't need a human to bother to error-check it.

Meanwhile, perhaps you could use a "proofreaeder" yourself. ;-) [Murphy's Law of Typos: Any comment about grammar or spelling errors will itself contain at least one grammar or spelling error.]
