Sir, no editor or publisher would introduce spelling or grammatical errors on purpose, and neither QuarkXpress nor Adobe InDesign (common page layout programs) will introduce such errors when justifying columns. Microsoft Word will sometimes introduce errors via auto-correction, but the editors and proofers are supposed to catch those. Old-school typesetting can, too, but I don't know how much of that is still done today. The magazine I work for went to fully digital printing years ago, as did many others.

In short, the errors you see are just that--errors. Frankly, if you're reading some publication and *not* finding errors, you're not watching closely enough.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
