I guess the title and job of "editor" is just so yesterday..."diffuse"...ROFLMAO. If it passes the spellcheck software, it's all good. I am now officially old since I can remember when a "writer" displaying that level of illiteracy would have shortly needed to find another line of work. Even better, back in the day, the Journalism 101 professor would have re-directed this person's career aspirations.
