Cut And Paste News

I've run across the press release on the passing of Sharon Smith several times in the past 12 hours or so. It was in my email Inbox late last night and I've seen it on a few websites this morning. Several entities who passed the info along to the public neglected to correct the error in the press release about her being a "husband." Others caught it after the fact, and corrected it.

I don't blame the person who wrote the press release. I know all too well how difficult it can be to see your own errors...grammatical or otherwise. It's a common mistake to modify a line written previously written and introduce a fresh incorrect statement the process. (I was changing that last sentence just now and nearly left it with the redundant wording, "previously already written," for example. UPDATE: And I still messed it up...did you see? Joke's on me!)

My question is really for all those who passed the press release along. Did you
even bother to read it? More fundamentally, will you cut and paste anything that is sent to you?
