The sentence above from an Associated Press story is becoming typical of writing in these modern times. It seems that at least one article I read every day has a wrong word used, the wrong tense, or a word just not there that should be there. Is it bad proofreading, bad writing, or just a bad typist?
Slate was the worst but now it is becoming much more common.
