In these days of emoticons, texting, abbreviations, and lack of capitalization (e e cummings rolls in his grave), the art of proofreading is underappreciated and dying.

my problem is that my beloved new york times depends TOO MUCH on spellcheck as a replacement for proofreading. get through the first section of the paper without finding an error and i'll give you a dollar at reunions.
Sloppy proofreading is the LEAST of my problems with the New York Times...
Why does this make me want to sing "I get knocked down, then I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down!"?
