Jen Chung apparently does not want to be corrected

Most mornings I read Gothamist.com.
Almost everyday Jen Chung - I think she is the founder, editor and Columbia grad - writes articles with spelling or grammatical errors.
I used to post a comment with the correction that needed to be made.
At first she would respond back with a ' hey it's a Monday' or ' thanks for catching that'.
After the tenth or so time, she would simply correct the error that I pointed out without any comment.
Now I think she is really mad because she has blocked me from commenting.
Interesting.
I bet she'll probably read this blog each day to find out what she needs to correct.... and I'm happy to help.
Jen, if you're reading this.... just take some time to proofread. It's the professional thing to do.
