I know what you mean. One wonders if very many people understand the basics of language enough to know when the computer is wrong, and if so, why don't they look closely enough to see what kind of disaster they are printing up officially.
I saw a newspaper editorial with a headline complaining about "breading", when it meant "breeding". Most amusing, but SO unprofessional!
I don't have a job, while those idiots do. That is the most irritating aspect of it for me.

YES. And the number of them, I mean, how many pairs of eyes must this stuff pass in front of before it's actually published? It has to be a lot. And those are a lot of people who should still be in high school. But they have college degrees, most of them, and I don't. It's a funny old world.
About a year ago, one of my long-time Internet friends said to me, "With your degree, you won't have trouble finding a job." Of course, I have never claimed to have a degree. On occasion, I have mentioned that the health issues got in the way of my completing college. However, people like us come across to other educated people as being equally educated, because we are. We just didn't go through official channels. :)
I agree so much with this whole thread and the original post!
I always turn off the grammar check because it is pretty much always wrong if you have even a marginally complicated sentence. I'm a pretty bad speller, but I don't use the spell check. I just see which words have the red squiggly lines under them and look them up in the dictionary
