Yep. I've made mistakes like this but that's what proof reading and editing are for. We are going to make mistakes but to just leave it there and thinking it's correct, just for the sake of it sounding the same. Much different meanings. I see it all the time. Even to say, I forgot to change it and someone points it out. I will thank them and change it to the correct word. Then proceed to beat myself up over missing it...lol
It's either laziness or stupidity and with me, I'll go with the latter. I get ya when you say adults, especially from 50-60-70 years ago. That's what really blows my mind. Today's adults don't surprised me so much, I see more.
It irks myself as well. I'm not perfect either but I think I'm with you that I expect more than I should. I understand you on that.
