detail oriented

Journalists are meticulous about their grammar. That is why I am surprised to find the wrong use of the word "dear" on the front page of CNN website. They meant "deer". It's already changed.

Maybe, someone noted the mistake but didn't correct it. I find that there is a set mentality against changes even when a mistake has occured. Like, the story of the emperor's new clothes, everybody just assumes the mistake was intentional.
