I actually started noticing that a while ago. I do admit I spend a decent amount of time reading topics of interest online. And, there will be typos like a mispelled word that was obviously done in haste (can't imagine wehre typed intentionally for where). Then there are the typos on TV. Whether it's the banners or whatever you call them on a newsbroadcast where "chilly weatehr in days ahead" is displayed or an advertisement that actually has a typo in the text part of it.
I agree this is human error but even a simple spellcheck feature would catch that stuff. Anyway, my opinion began with "sure aren't any good proofreaders out there anymore" and then I thought. HA! They probably don't even have them anymore. Who would want to be a proofreader when spellcheck and computers do it all. Wrong! They obviously don't or aren't or can't.
Good question, Ed!
I too am kinda funny about spelling and grammar (my Mom was very insistent on that from the time I was a little child - especially things like between you and me where a lot of people say between you and I) Lol
