Ehh more like spellcheckers aren’t something you only get in a word processor anymore, and autocorrect doesn’t help either. I’m getting the impression that there are much more malapropisms on the Internet (and much, much fewer outright typos and spelling errors) than there used to be, say, a decade ago, and I strongly suspect spellcheckers are to blame.
(Proofreading in professional publishing is, indeed and to that industry’s great shame, much less of a thing than it used to be, but that’s a different story.)

"move back and forth" I think is what they were going for, but proofreading isn't a thing anymore.
