There was a time, long, long ago that newspapers had a proofreader for such things.
Even ol' Ponto spent time as a proofreader for three different daily newspapers.
The beginners in the proof department started with long boring copy, then worked their way up to the headlines and front-page stories.
If you were really good, you were promoted to proof read advertising, because in the old days, a business did not have to pay for the ad if it had mistakes in it.
The thought process today is the computer spell checkers work better for less cost.

That would require a vote by the city council.
What are the odds of that happening ?

Totally my fault. Wasn't wrong in the paper only in the on-line edition. That's what happens when you proof your own copy. It's been corrected. Hope "know" one noticed.
