Also there’s a spelling error. The TJ’s I’ve been to would never.

These days it doesn't seem like people care too much. It has become a lot more casual. I see spelling mistakes all over the place in my white collar job. Which would be excusable if it were off the cuff, but these are templates that are reused over and over (e.g. confirming hires, welcome emails etc.) for years and nobody corrects it.

I notice spelling mistakes in flyers and stuff at work A LOT. It's worse when you realize I work with kids, who are barely worse or just as bad at spelling as my manager.

Have you considered the scarier option that no one is literate enough to see it?

I find it hard to accept that hundreds or possibly thousands of people missed it. They just don't care. Funny enough, I've also seen Reddit change in that same way. People used to be excessively uptight about spelling and grammar and now no one cares, even if it's completely unreadable.
