Tkamiya,

I agree with you. The worst offenders are Sportscasters. Of course, most of them were jocks. Jocks are not exactly known for being the best students.

When I hear the golf announcers say, "He hit that shot awesome", or "Today she played excellent", it makes me cringe. Apparently, these mistakes are not a problem to the audience or the producers.

With regard to printed media, part of the problem is simply that with instantaneous communication, there is no editing process. These errors are more easily accepted because they are primarily just typos.
