I don't know Craig Crossman, but he claims to be host of "the No. 1 daily national computer radio talk show, Computer America." I came across one of his articles, syndicated by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services, on PhysOrg.com. This is the opening paragraph:

One of the really great computer applications is the ability to record audio and save it to a digital file. One of the more interesting recording applications these days are podcasts. Making a podcast is fairly straightforward. Besides the computer, all you basically need is the recording software and a microphone. As far as the recording software is concerned, deciding what program to use can be somewhat daunting in that there are so many titles available from which to choose.

Holy moly. This reads like a basic copyediting test: "How many mistakes can you find in this paragraph?"

Has McClatchy fired all of its editors?
