The power of the printed Press does have a few drawbacks, a higher expectation of perfection on the part of Publishers, Editors and Journalists, only to have their work of art marred by either human error, or horrors, a machine...... an auto-correcting machine, going way too fast for it's own good.

or .... a bargain basement, recently dumped Siebel Software program via BC Bid 

Publishing on paper that do include typographical errors only allows for a CORRECTION to be made in following issues, but why go to that extent just to highlight the error all over again, eh.

For example this morning, second and third paragraphs:
July 15, 2014 page 1 Front and Centre
..... - LaPointe was short on details.

Lapointed said Monday's announcement that he has taken over the NPA and will captain an as-yet unrevealed list of candidate was ....  - Jeff Lee  - Vancouver Sun - Hard copy

If mistakes like the above keeps happening for the Vancouver Sun  it would be better for PostMedia to fold the newspaper tonight, and go digital tomorrow, thereby saving the trees, and my yearly subscriptions fees.

The proof of how easily the Online version was corrected, manipulated:

.....  — LaPointe was short on details.
Monday's announcement that he has taken over the NPA and will captain an as-yet unrevealed list of candidates was, LaPointe said, more about setting "clean campaign" values for the November 15 election.  .....  - Jeff Lee - Vancouver Sun - Online
***********************

Lapointedly too soon and too late for LaPointe

Maybe Mayor of UBC Endowment Lands

Nothing like having your Mayor living off the estate, and not suffering the same financial fates of his Constituents
