Alternatively, perhaps the game believes this is how you sarcastically reply to people commenting on your eloquence as judged by brainwashed people.

1. Many of the typos I've reported have been fixed. This is most likely to happen in early Beta when the content-writer is revising text based on feedback. However, once the 'story' is fixed, I've noticed typos are a lot less likely to get fixed because now it's QA error-correction department's responsibility, and they have a lot more important stuff on their plate. So, if you want the grammar and spelling to be correct, do your grammar-naziing in early Beta.
2. Yes, egregious errors inexplicably stick around a long time.
3. INSERT BIO HERE: That's my fault. The last few SSA#1 arcs had a handful of closed Beta testers to specifically check for grammar problems. I (and, obviously, several others) didn't even think of checking bios of NPCs. And so, now, the SSA#2 arcs don't even have closed Beta any more. It's open to everyone to grammar-check. And so, if mistakes get through, it's *your* fault. 
4. In the past two Issues, there have been *a lot* less *spelling* errors. It seems obvious to me that they are finally putting their text through a spelling checker program... finally! However, as we all know, spelling checkers aren't as good at finding grammatical mistakes or correctly spelled wrong words (as in defuse <> diffuse).
5. Quite frankly, errors like the one in the OP get past me quite readily. I'm more likely to see misspelled words or notice inconsistencies in the story content than a verbal mash-up.

Mind explaining how that got through? That is unacceptable. What's more unacceptable is that typos can be reported in Beta and ignored for several issues.
And yeah you kinda need to chill a bit. Yes, some of the text errors in this game are pretty sad, but they're really not game-breaking in the slightest.
