vice.com: The Trump Administration's Constant, Glaring Typos Are a Big Deal
re the second post: Hay himself has several errors (typos etc) in his article, which always looks odd for someone writing about deficiencies in someone else's standards. Even when it's justified.

the author did however admit that typos aren't really meaningful in an individual person's writing:
"As the English language and spelling historian Simon Horobin pointed out to me, although they have long been used as proxies for intellect, personal spelling and grammar errors almost never truly matter. They rarely affect our ability to discern meaning. English spelling especially, Horobin noted, is utterly illogical. So using it 'correctly' is more a sign of memorization skills than anything else. Especially in the digital era, where so much of communication is rapid and informal, such errors are rarely taken to be meaningful."
ETA: the "quote" function is still messed up. Every time I tried to put the above quote in a box, it just put joanne's quote in the box again. Strangest thing.
The office Leaders in charge of vetting, as per WAPO:
"At the same time, two office leaders have spotty records themselves: a college dropout with arrests for drunken driving and bad checks and a Marine Corps reservist with arrests for assault, disorderly conduct, fleeing an officer and underage drinking."
Steve Schmidt's response is the best.

By now the world knows this White House is a straight up train wreck. This is just another nightmare to add to the pile. There are links that lead to the original report from The Washington Post in this article. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan need to sit down with Trump and read him the riot act about the circus he's running, but they won't.
