In recent years, I feel like I've been Ni> seeing more and more spelling and grammar mistakes in writing, and even Ni> sometimes in printed material (magazines, signs, etc.). It's like they Ni> don't have anyone proofread it, or those checking the work just don't have Ni> good English skills. And at the same time, people get really annoyed when Ni> you try to point out the bad spelling/grammar, or if you're genuinely Ni> confused by what you read, they thiink you're making fun of them or Ni> something. You can see these same errors and problems in news services these days too. Probably a partial problem induced by reliance on spell checkers. The rest of it is words that are spelt correctly but have not place in the sentence they're in, and you either have to guess the intent, or know that it's meant to be something else. The other looks like someone has edited the line for whatever reason, but the edit is out of context to the rest of the article, like a hybrid sentence that changes tense or similar.
