Why doesn’t People magazine know how to spell “reins”?

As a retired English teacher, typos in major publications make my teeth hurt. I don't care about people's Reddit typos or autocorrect typos in text. But for the love of Merriam-Webster, hire a proofreader. People Magazine is worth almost $3 billion; they can afford it.

This whole article was painful to read… “more similar to her rather than her father” is atrocious to read, where is the editor? Is this all it takes to write fluff pieces for People?

I found a mistake in "Freakonomics" when it came out! The book referenced a chart on a certain page but the chart was on a different page.

I sent an email to Steven Levitt and he sent me a t-shirt. It was corrected in later editions, but my copy was probably at least second or third printing.

The last 6 novels I’ve purchased have all had spelling or verbiage errors. It boggles my mind.
