Not Making This Up

Read a published article which contained this sentence:
They were ahead of the curb. . . 

Visualize that, if you will.

I tried, I failed. (Voice recognition gone wrong? Or just stupidity?)

Grace, admittedly I am not sure. Naturally being of the cynical bent I suspected the latter, but it could be the first. Minus proofing, of course.

I guess being in front of a curb is better than being behind one--you wouldn't be able to move!

I find these sorts of errors all the time in e-books on my Kindle. Seems it costs too much to have an editor or a proof-reader these days.

Lin, the day will come when AI is superior to the human sort. Turn it all over to the 'bots then; they could scarce do a worse job than we have done.
