You against the English language

It's another of my weekly Elert emails from Random House of Canada and McClelland & Stewart. This one came on August 16, 2011, and again features an error in the first paragraph: than should be then.

Ugh

I work in a bookstore and am signed up to receive weekly Elert emails from Random House of Canada and McClelland & Stewart. That text up above is the opening paragraph in the Elert that hit my inbox on July 13, 2011. In the first sentence, hoards of customer should be hordes of customers - note the homophonic first-word error and the missing S on the end of the third word. Click the image to enlarge it.

Cesar Milan

I get emailed Elerts from Random House of Canada, and the one that came yesterday featured a misspelling of Cesar Millan's name. See how I put double-L in his last name? Yeah, that's how to correctly spell his name. Getting it wrong twice means it's deliberate and not just a typo. Click the image to enlarge it.
