It's often clear that SpellCheck or something even less accurate has taken over what used to be an editorial eye. I worked on a government agency's employee newspaper (then a circulation of 17,000) and checked every line, headline, and caption. And so did others. Clearly not the case at the DNR when, just yesterday, Paul Sommers was correctly identified in a front-page article but was Paul Somers in a caption. And letters to the editor by people I know to be sticklers for accuracy in writing have several typos (charitable description) in their 150 words or less.
