All you have to do is watch the Tonight Show “Headlines” to see the quality of spell checking on classifieds in the paper. Not any better than on Craigslist, etc.
So many errors are the result of a Spellchecker automatically changing a word that is misspelled to somehting totally different and the writer failing to catch it. Even happens in Kindle books. Was reading one lately where the word budget was changed throughout the book to “ bud get”.
When we printed an obituary with the paper, it was riddled with spelling mistakes.
This is after we sent them a typed obit (that I did myself), that was free of them.
I had to go down and fight them to give us a 50 percent discount and to fix the obit because it was extremely amateur, embarrassing and offensive.
Maybe 20 years ago Newspapers were worthwhile. Now? No.
I had a 60s Corvette fuel injection unit stored away for 30+ years. Sold it a couple years ago on eBay for $4500. One of these days I may peddle my massive stash of R12 freon LOL.
