My paper is like that too. There are a few writers that seem to make the
most mistakes. Although usually they're only grammar and spelling errors, in
a few cases they've written sentences I literally couldn't figure out. The
editors even make mistakes sometimes in letters from the editor. On top of
that, it's way too right-wing for me, but the only newspaper in town. :O(
