All the time and editors will always blame you despite it being more importantly their job to check your mistakes.
I've gotten roasted by editors for passing along copy that had TKs in it. But I don't think any of those ever went live. My great fear would be typos that slip through. At least online you can fix them, or have someone fix them, but they're still the kind of things I'll think about at 3 am.
I get that. Typos haunt me more than anything else too. Even if they get fixed fast, I cannot stop replaying them in my head. TKs I can laugh off—typos feel like a scar.
Yes, I once left “[insert stat here]” in copy that actually got published. No one noticed for weeks. Nothing humbles you faster than realising laziness slips through layers of “quality control” untouched.
