It's rare to get through all the articles in a daily paper online without seeing typos. It's unreal considering the written word is literally what writers and reporters do.

It's the race to the post that results in these guys writing articles on their smartphones and getting auto'd.
Luckily the print version doesn't usually include the bloopers.

Man. I just read that and realized how old I sound. Gonna go sit on the porch and fist shake kids in their Trans Ams listening to 98 degrees. That's what's outside now right?

That is horribly written and difficult to read.

The grammar and sentence structure in that follow up is horrible. I don't claim to be a genius when it comes to writing, but it's not my career so I don't need to be good at it.

This young lady is trying to educate herself and others about things that we see as "normal." Instead of firing insults her way why don't you try contributing to a constructive dialogue.

Gotta agree.
She did not take ownership of her sensationalist first article,

But she obviously tried to add some balance . I thought she did quite a good job.

Maybe she could reinterview the first safety expert who felt unsafe and see if he agrees with the second article.
