From the lead article in the Oct. 9 YourMoney section:

“Most drug perscriptions (sic) can be substituted with generic products, but there are others whose function is more critical, and pharamacists (sic) may be hesitant to substitute for them.”

Indeed. I would myself find it a most unpleasant prospect to have to swallow a hesitant “pharamacist” in substitution for a “perscribed” brand-name drug. For that matter, I find it hard to swallow the whole garbled paragraph.

Has the Trib given any thought to the return of literate proofreaders, perhaps old-fashioned linotype operators? Or, at the minimum, to the required use of the word processor’s spell-check device?
