Interesting. I last worked in newspers over a decade ago. I was a sysop, not a reporter. The whole online thing was just begining. There was precious little chance of anything slipping thru. After the reporter had finished with it it went to a copy editor, then up to a sub-editor if memory serves. Of course the system had spell checking built in as well so basic spelling mistakes were practically unheard of. Gamatical errors too though sometimes I guess there could be issues of interpretation. However. I mentioned spoken english as well on the radio and TV. Makes me wonder if people actually have to take English classes at college anymore.
