Even News Providers Need an Editor

This doesn't come to my attention just once in a while. No, this happens every single day when I read various online news providers, bloggers, and others. No one seems to take the time to proofread their articles for grammar and spelling errors. But if these people do have proofreaders - they need to be fired.

I can be reading an article, like this one,  http://news.discovery.com/animals/squid-same-sex-swingers-110921.html#mkcpgn=rssnws1 and BAM! There it is, an obvious and glaring mistake that someone should have caught, but didn't.

This one was in an article from Discovery News:  "You may not be sure who's arm you're planting...... Who's, who's, who's? Everyone should know that "who's" is a contraction for "who is." The correct spelling usage is: whose. Ten points for those of you who already knew that.
