An editorial in today's Star-Ledger contains this gem of a sentence:

Despite the calamity some predicted for Colorado, there's no been evidence that legalizing the drug has lead to an increase in either crime or pot smoking by teenagers.

No been evidence?
Lead?

Yikes!

The paper fired all the proofreaders and relies on spellcheck. Sigh.
