You should know better.

Are people in the media less educated or am I getting more critical? There was an excellent documentary on J. D. Salinger the other night. Everything about it was impressive. Which is why I was amazed when one of the screen legends read: "Salinger kept writing everyday." How could creators of a series about a man who scrutinized every word not know that the correct usage is "every day." The next night I saw a program on Mel Gibson, who is far nuttier than even I knew. The narrator of the program incorrectly told us that Gibson "flaunted" every rule of Hollywood behavior. How can he not know it's"flouted"? The same narrator continually referred to Gibson as "anti-Semetic" despite the fact that everyone else quoted on the program correctly said, "anti-Semitic". I expect the nightly news to make lots of grammatical errors, which they do. But on programs that take time and require lots of supposedly educated contributors, you would think these kind of mistakes could be avoided.
