(Think easy-to-pack wipes, as oppose to big bottles of the liquids and creams).; What is it about a men's bed anyway?

-- "How to survive that dreaded walk of shame" in Vancouver 24 hours on August 21, 2009

What is it about Vancouver 24 hours that readers are subjected to so many errors? It's a relatively small newspaper, but it has errors spilling out of it every day. Basic punctuation: if a sentence is contained entirely within parentheses, then the period is placed inside the closing parenthesis. The word oppose requires a D at the end of it. How was the error in the second image not noticed? Maybe the writer was hoping the men's beds would swallow up the A along with the ginch.
