1. other than mispelling lobbyists

The 2017 Oregon Legislature, spurred by NRA lobbysists (sic), gun clubs and hunter organizations, needs to insert HWI (handling weapons while under the influence) restrictions into Oregon's firearms/weapons laws, just as with boating and driving. "Handling," rather than "hunting," because hunting is a specific use whereas handling covers the gamut of weapon uses (target practice, sport s
hooting, etc.). And "weapons" to apply to archery or other implements as well. I agree. If I lived there, I would call my rep.
Why are there more misspellings and wrong word usage so common these days? I expect more from someone working in the media or graduated from university.
