Proofreader wanted

Has anyone else noticed the erosion of literacy in today's magazines?
Two recent examples:
1. The January Sound&Vision is reviewing a new $8000 integrated from Yamaha.
The first sentence asks: "Are you drooling over those massive UV meters?"
(Don't they mean VU meters?)
2. Another review (can't remember the source) describes some speakers as
"immanently listenable". I think they meant "eminently listenable".
Cowabunga!

I was going go into rant about where this post is going but it will do NO good.
Ok,just a bitty rant.
Companies have a responsibility to make sure all is correct. But to bring every day people into this is irresponsible and just mean.
School BULLY comes to mind.
I know I spelled Okay wrong,BTW. Sorry BY THE WAY.

There's a movement afoot to abolish writing because it's no longer necessary. Who needs to write when they can text is the argument. Fabulous!
