Your premise that your favorite author’s book was edited by a professional editor is probably wrong. To reduce costs most of the publishing companies have cut out “line editing” positions, relying on the author’s use of spell check in their submissions to do the job. NOT!
But you are correct in the basic argument that we have become a society that no longer teaches or enforces “standard English.”
As a college teacher of writing, I have seen at first hand the downward spiral of literacy in writing skills.

This morning I received another spam, allegedly from a “Lydia”, starting with “Hi handsome! ;)”, signed “With kisses” by “Payton” and titled “Alexandra thinks your sexy”!
I presume you know that by opening that obvious scam spam you may have opened your computer to a virus?
Opening an e-mail message does not subject one to a virus, but clicking on a link or especially an attachment can.

Jewish, whadya expect. Better humorist than pianist.
