Nice proofreading job

How long did the reporter or his editor take to proofread this brilliant piece of redundancy from Yahoo! News‘ “The Sideshow”?

I’d guess it was less than a nanosecond. Much less.

OK, if no one at Yahoo! News was going to proofread this article, couldn’t someone at least run a little spell-checker? Even a bad spell-checker would catch the misspelled anything, but not the wrong verb:

The past tense of the verb plead is pleaded or pled.

    One can only hope that they spend a little more time proofreading their resumes.
