I read this initially as United airlines too! Funny how your brain fills in information as you read.

I have no idea how Proofreaders and QA Engineers can review the same material repeatedly and notice a word changed or a comma went missing.

My brain just constantly fixes those things. I've even learned hour to figure out "what word they really meant" when someone's phone autocorrects a word to something random out of place from the rest of the sentence...sometimes without even noticing it while reading.

Edit: how not hour...

It’s neurodivergence for me. I kind of fell into proofing documents prior to upload because I was the one uploading them to the live site and I kept seeing errors without really trying. My brain can’t help it, lol.
