Editors - spellcheck is not the same.

Some years back the Federal Agency where I worked decided that with desktop publishing, we didn't need a Publishing Dept, so every Section produced their own pubications. My friend who was moved from Publishing into my section, & other thoughtful folks, didn't agree.

First big problem was when a retired senior politician/statesman called about some mistakes he'd noticed in our most important publication. He's a good bloke, so was just telling us what he'd noticed, & not creating a fuss or dragging the agency into the media mud.

The team updating the publication hadn't removed all references to the previous edition, some page headings gave the previous year's date!

Other publications also had mistakes at times.
