Or MS-Word autocorrect. I recently read a self-published book where the daughter of the author was the editor. While the book was nicely done and well written, what to me seemed obvious auto-corrects were painful for being the wrong word in the context of the sentence.

Editors needs to check the auto-corrections AND have language skills AND attention to detail. It is easy to ruin the reading experience.
