It is not nitpicking to expect published work to be edited by people who can spell.  This is not a tweet or e-mail, it is an widely distributed study purporting to show the level of serious analysis our state's major university is capable of.

Seriously, how many spelling errors can you spot?

Man up, Illini.  Purdue is giggling.
