The text here is very hard on the eye due to the bold and italic combination, while the verb in the first sentence’s subordinate clause should be in the subjunctive mood (that residents be able), not in the indicative. Finally, and proving that someone has simply copied and pasted the extract without properly reading either the original or the resulting text, there’s a stray chunk of HTML code:
Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).
