I'm reading a document published at the VA and this is the first sentence: "VA provides services to 18.5 million Veterans across a wide range of benefits, including medical care, insurance claims, job support and education, home loans, and manages the National Cemeteries."
This is a heavily edited document that went through many people before it was published, and it was distributed to many people. How did they allow such a glaring grammar error in the first sentence?

Rant: I am unreasonably irritated by this - probably because it's from the side of a large printed packaging box, not (say) a social media post by an unhappy intern. A few people should have signed this off: copywriter, designer and maybe art director at the agency; brand manager and perhaps a packaging category manager at Russell Hobbs. A decent printer might have caught this too. They managed to put the apostrophe in 'let's' in the body copy, though. Bah.
