It never ceases to shock me as to what are journalists write:

Nine persons are dead — including one of natural cases

Then later in the article:

Lawmen later went to another residence, where they found an elderly woman who apparently had died of natural cases.

So it wasn't just a case of spellcheck not catching a misspelling, because cases is spelled correctly. Though as I'm sure everyone here knows that is the wrong word to be used. The cause (clue to reporter, it's natural causes) is laid clearly at the feet of our education system. An education system where educators keep demanding more pay and less oversight of the job the perform. Far too many educators are not worth a third of what they are paid. I realize this is off topic, however, it annoys me to see such incompetence within our press.
