Abomidable spelling

I was reading the news this morning when I came across this article on the Discovery channel site: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/10/20/yeti-footprints-nepal.html

It never ceases to amaze me the typographical errors that pass editing on mainstream websites.  Doesn’t the Discovery channel provide a service to educate others, particularly younger children?  In the modern online publishing world there are a whole host of utilities and services at your fingertips that are designed directly to avoid this type of error.  Even as I typed the word abomidable into WordPress, it underlined it with a little red squiggly.  I tried to contact them about the error lest the abomidation continue but I was unable to post a comment on the entry and could find neither sight nor sound of a contact form or email address.

It's simply abomidable

It's simply abomidable!
