What ever happened to editors?

They got lazy and assume that if text passes MSWord's spelling and grammar check, the spelling and usage is correct.

(I note with amusement the irony of your replacing whatever with "what ever" in your complaint.)

“What ever happened,” seems like perfectly fine grammar to me. Take out the ever, it would read “what happened.” Whatever is a slang word, what kids say when they don’t want to hear what adults are saying. Irony, indeed.
