Meh, I’m completely of the same mind but it’ll never happen. The writers self-edit and self-post. If it were held for an editor’s purview, one: that’s another hire, or a lot of extra time they all spend doing peer-edits, and two: it means articles are posted later. both of these things are a no-no for printing/journalism in the 21st century. during the magazine/newspaper era, there were a lot fewer outlets, so they all got more money, and there was more money flowing through the economy, generally. So, there was money spent on fixing typos. Now, the money isn’t there, and the deadline isn’t once per day, it’s NOW! So there are typos and that’s that. It’s wack, though, I agree. Future generations will probably think we were spoiled to have such luxuries!
