But that demonstrates the simply process of how corrections can be detected and corrected. I wrote a piece of text, Sinnertwin detected an error and it was corrected. All in the span of 88 minutes.

Author creates text.
Editor proof-reads text and highlights any mistakes.
Mistakes are corrected.
Text is published.

And these are people who are being paid to write, and the audience is also paying money to read their writing! Professional writers and editors who are making a living from their writing should absolutely be maintaining a higher standard than people casually typing on the internet!

I hope that you do bear this in mind before making these posts, but what you or I might consider an error might barely register as a stylistic choice to others. I don't know what errors you are picking up as you haven't posted examples, but they can't be any worse than Marvel's consistent incorrect usage of the word "insure", or some posters on this board who write *shudder* "could of".
