-- "Seasoned journalist takes johns to task" in The Vancouver Courier on April 22, 2009Aren't writers encouraged to proofread their own work before publishing? Aren't they (also) encouraged to get someone they trust to proofread their work before publishing? Don't newspapers - all newspapers - have editors? In the first image, there is an extra word; his was probably meant to replace the, but both are present. Amazon.ca tells me that there are two books by Malarek with similar titles: The Natashas: The New Global Sex Trade, and The Natashas: Inside the New Global Sex Trade. The title of his earlier work that is given in the article is not found on Amazon.
Second image: the first five times Victor's last name is written in the article, it's Malarek. The sixth time, it's Malerak. The seventh and eighth times, it's Malarek. The ninth and tenth times, it's Malerak. The good news is that the writer was correct 70% of the time. The bad news is that the writer was incorrect 30% of the time. Third image: seeing then when it should be than (but never vice versa) is becoming a frequent occurrence. I find it easy to use the correct word, as then and than do not have similar meanings.
