To your last point, it could be a British spelling. But I think you may be picking up on something i’ve noticed. Reputable sites and news write ups contain errors in nearly every article... EVERY article. Grammar, syntax, run-on sentences, and SPELLING. I’ve read summaries of studies that say that as technology increases, the general population becomes more helpless and dumb.
It’s true, right? How many people can fix their own cars, build a house, grow a garden, sew a button on that’s popped off... compared to 50 years ago? Societal collapse is eminent. The proficiency of editors is just another sign.
Could be intentional. Intelligent people notice the mistakes and stop reading. Filters for the less intelligent, who are more susceptible to the message.

It has truly been getting worse. I mean, I'm no grammar master myself, but I definitely try to spell correctly and use grammar correctly everywhere I type. Whether that's text messaging or posting on forums. And it boggles my mind how really big websites can end up having really simple spelling or grammar mistakes that my eyes go to almost immediately.
I've literally e-mailed websites before pointing out errors because it's just embarrassing, especially in a world full of spellcheck that's always right there. I'm not really a grammar Nazi to regular people though, unless they're trying to specifically work on their English because I get that on forums a lot of people just don't care or are lazy. You'd think technology would actually help with that kind of thing, but somehow it doesn't seem to.
And yeah - when society collapses, people are going to be absolutely screwed.
Haha oh lord. Sometimes I just want to be like "HIRE AN EDITOR OR HIRE ME (since I'd probably work for less than a real editor, lol) FOR THE LOVE OF GOD."

Common with phishing attacks.

Zero Hedge is the absolute worst. The website that the #1 news show on television frequently cites. (Tucker Carlson)
I love the site, but most articles lack a word or two in the middle of a sentence.
(i.e. “All sources indicate that the Afghanistan withdrawal could’ve been handled better if the evacuation Bagram Airport.”)
