You ain't seen mistakes until you've worked on the copy desk. LOL. I've seen some good'uns on hard deadline ... although some of the best were before my time. Legend has it we had "PARATOOPERS" in a massive headline, made it to press. We've had some classic photos, too, although we're crude enough on copy desk that we usually pick up on those before they get to print.
The internet makes it worse ... speed is extremely important, so things like spelling, basic grammar and correct information fall by the wayside.
