Actually if I may be frank, you clearly don't know the reason why considering that you've over simplified such a convoluted process by addressing 'proof reading' as the answer.

Sorry, but if anyone thinks that I would have left 'stupid Americans' in the opening text of the opening article, (let alone leaving such an unreadable mess) then they obviously don't know the difficulties of the process of creating a magazine and the plethora of areas of production where things can go amiss.

Actually no you don't get it, we left nothing on purpose.

Of course the entire articles text was re-written.

Of course the entire article was then proof read by others.

Somehow, that final edit never made it into the PDF that was sent to the printers.

I have spent a few days trying to track down exactly where things went wrong but I cannot pin it down to one specific instance or action or person along the chain of assembly...and again to be frank, I thought of at least ten possible scenarios where things may have gone awry and not one of them was as simple as someone forgot to proof read.

Yes, Jose's article has a few ugly goofs as well, descent instead of decent hit me in the face like a fart in church as soon as I turned the page, but that article's mistake factor is not even comparable to the first.

At the end of the day, you only have one more issue of the magazine to deal with these things possibly souring your experience.
