I typically find two or three dozen editorial mistakes in a book-length publication. I notice things like a missing parenthesis or an unitalicized letter in italics, a missing period, a spelling error (usually vowels in the wrong place).
How do these things make it past multiple editors? I'm curious about the editing process for publication, can anyone explain it? Does anyone else notice these types of mistakes?

>Does anyone else notice these types of mistakes?
Yes. It's worse with ebooks. Yes, commercial, supposedly quality non-Amazon ebooks.

They're humans. They half-ass it.
I can only assume that they don't even bother proof-reading anymore when they republish old texts.

What multiple editors? Today its got to be fast, it's got to be cheap, so whatever gets past the spell chequer goes into print. After all, computers never make mistakes, don't they.

What do you expect with all that Chinese immigration, OP?
Because most people can look past the couple mistakes without letting it bother them.
