I've seen that many times, too.  I'd hazard a guess that's down to
things like webauthors copying and pasting content, across different
systems, using dumb software that doesn't transcode (or even know that
it has to).  And the importing of external data.

If it's automated, it's not going to be noticed by human eyes.  And
people are poor at proofreading, these days.

I should have added graphics stuck in your cache, too.  If your cache
isn't supplying previously downloaded graphics because of a browser
bug, or webserver crapology, that can resolve itself once the cache
refreshes (auto expired data, culling of cache space, etc).

Boilerplate:  All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see
the messages posted to the mailing list.

I reserve the right to be as hypocritical as the next person.
