Any-way - the fact that they have a system that seeks to improve the copy and direct it towards their style guide is something to be celebrated when most of the news about, erm, the news, is how AI is replacing actual writers.
Maybe I'm spoiled with our programming tools, but I would have imagined a major newspaper to have an automated style and spell checking system that runs every time one presses Save on their CMS, and this is proof they don't. I am surprised why no one at The Guardian has set this up before — it's not rocket science, but their core business.
The core business is delivering news, and typos halting publication is not a trade-off they want to take, they'd rather have the subs or copy editors batch process or review all the corrections required - maybe they use Pull Requests? :D
