I have, in the past, attempted to tell the webmasters that their sites are riddled with typos and bad grammar, all for naught. Like Anne says... they're getting their nails done.

It was probably the account executive's fault. She was too busy sleeping with the client to get the details straight, such as the town's name, and besides, she was too busy sleeping with the client and thinking about getting her nails done, so she just handed the copywriter a bunch of half-assembled information, waved her lovely hands and said, "I need this by 4:00." Which is, by the way, when she'll be back from getting her nails done. She's had the information for days. She proofreads it herself, even if it does contain big words such as "financial," and it looks right to her so it must be right.
