Grammar mistakes

Here is something I copied off a grammar website
(www.grammarlady.com) Considering the attacks people
have made against other listers' grammar this might be
of interest. Here is the article as it appears:

'Typo Of The Weak' Good thing I was strapped into my
breakfast nook this morning, then read further down in
the Washington Post ad, the 24-point header of which
read:
"Introducing a kids' breakfast serial fortified to
nourish young minds." It was an ad for the Post, by
the Post.
Graphics-wise there was a large cereal-box-looking
thing front and center. But then the fine print stated
that this was to be a serial installation running for
20 weeks, encouraging young kids to read, enjoy, and
learn. 
Confusion between cereal and serial!!

You would think a grammar website would be more
careful about what they print.
