      "has a damn typo in it... are all editors just going to crap these days?"

      Editors cost money. Good editors cost more money. Spellcheck is free. Spelling errors are easily corrected in online publications.

      It's not the editors that suck, it's the companies who do not place high value on well-edited work.

    Companies don't do things out of the goodness of their heart anymore.

    Except Newman's Own who has donated over 175 million dollars to charity. That may be
    just be a huge tax scam though... ;)
