I just got my latest issue of Ada Letters. I'm pretty
disappointed with the typography errors in many articles.
One article had large gaps of whitespace inside words.
Another had funny accented characters attached to words.
And this isn't the first time I've seen things like that.
I know that articles are formatted by the submitters,
but shouldn't the editor just bounce malformed ones?

These problems make the publication seem amateurish,
and may be another symptom of The Death of Ada(tm).
