We have become a society that is always in a hurry.  I've had slides printed backwards. All you have to do is look at the image.  When the words on the destination sign are backwards the image is backwards. But in the photo lab all they do is look at the slide mounting.  If the slide is mounted backwards, they print it backwards!  You will find images scanned backwards in online archives. Obviously, no one is checking if the image is correct. Quality takes time and as a society we don't want to take time.

Why is it so many journalism writers constantly make so many mistakes?  What 
ever happened to getting the facts straight?  I get frustrated when I see 
mistakes after mistake that should not have ever gotten away.

A 29 year old journalism major did an article on me here at Purchase and 
there are more things incorrect than correct.  Major music magazines going 
out to educators that have cover photos printed backwards are constantly 
showing up in the mailbox.

Yes, I make mistakes and they have shown up in the PTM calendar and my book. 
God (and most people) knows I am not a perfect musician.  A few years back 
there was a stress reducing book entitled something along the lines of Don't 
Sweat the Small Stuff.   We need to learn to sweat the small stuff and the 
big stuff looks easy.
