I can understand their/they're/there confusion, homographs, etc., but I don't see how honest-to-god typos still get through these days. We're past the days where you have to click the "Proofing" option in the word processor to scan for typos: pretty much any standard word processor will highlight misspelled words as soon as the document is opened. So assuming the author/editor just visually scans each page of the document, the red underlines should shake out any obvious misspellings.
