Post spelling and grammar mistakes from major blogs

Post by Eight Bit Alien »

This shit drives me absolutely insane. I see this every single day. All the goddamn time. Blatant fucking neutron bomb errors in written English that ANYONE with an ounce of personal integrity as a writer should be ashamed of.

This is what we get in the death of print media. This is what we fucking deserve. Tabloids with spelling mistakes.

This thread might be a slow burn because I don't have anything stockpiled yet BUT THE FIRE RISES brothers just wait.

The Xbox One S, successor to Microsoft's Xbox One gaming console, has begun shipping today. Media outlets, which had received the review unit a week ahead of the launch date, have put out the review. In short, everyone loves the Xbox One S' compact design -- 40% slipper form-factor than the Xbox One -- and the 4K support has been widely praised as well. But perhaps, it's CNET's review that captures the sentiment of most people: "Xbox One S is the best Xbox you might not want to buy."

nbc news wrote:But without the full release of his tax returns, it's impossible to say whether Trump's portrait of his business acumen, or the one framed by his critics', is correct — in part because Trump's business empire is so vast.
the portrait of Trump's business acumen framed by the business acumen of Trump's critics, got it

But Trump’s attacking of several the women who say he groped or kissed them against their could prove a tough sell with voters. It risked amplifying Michelle Obama’s central point: that Trump is a candidate who belittles real concerns women have about sexual assault.

Someone who writes like that shouldn't qualify for an American high school diploma. How does this happen? How do you not reread the text before uploading it? I know that these people have a quota in most situations, and bust their ass to grind out content - but I check for spelling and basic comprehensibility before posting shit on fucking Facebook. That's not my job. If it were, I'd feel an anxiety that I'd be fired or professionally humiliated for a very public display of professional incompetence.

I read this on my phone and the whole thing was super awkward to parse.

"Because two stories is just significantly less encroaching than three and more cars using more parking spaces near the wetlands is the precise definition of keeping open space beautiful and green. "

I don't know if officially there are any accidentally words in the above, but the whole article reads that way.

The mess-up only affected viewers in Boston, as CNN’s broadcasting in the city is provided by RCN, a local television provider. Despite the channel sending through the correct video signal, but somehow RCN managed to press the wrong buttons and provide viewers with something quite different.
