I suppose that misspellings are as well? This points to a larger issue in society - if publications let things slide they'll keep sliding. Extend that to daily life and you have the lazy downhill slide that's currently going on. Heard a radio story recently that cursive writing isn't being taught because it's "too hard and requires too much discipline".

Organizations need to hold themselves to a higher standard than that. How many people did that story go through before it was printed? 5? 6? Only one?


In the orthopedic manufacturing industry, you'd be surprised how many issues make it to a customer and even into the operating room!

A typo in a newspaper is nothing in terms of human error.

*On a side note, what oil is in the 4Runner right now?

How will they even sign their names if they don't learn cursive? There's a few things like real estate closings that still require a signature, even legal documents and checks still require signatures, although there are certain items where an electronic signature would work.
