Spell check for Channel News Asia


I am very alarmed by two articles I read today on Channel News Asia
(CNA). Haven't they heard of something called Spell check?!

The first article is on the Korean star, Jang Dong Gun.
"...one can clearly see the reasons why Jang reaches national stardom with this show and subsequently becomes an international idle."
Erhem, I hope for the writer's sake that Jang's angry fans will be able to restrain themselves and remain "idle" after reading that.

The second article is on a Singapore adventurer who has climbed Mount Everest for the second time.
"...he had to complete the remaining eight hundred over metres with oxygen because of bad weather and diahorrea."
Can someone please enlighten me on this? Is that some obscure medical condition that I've never heard of, or is it really a misspelling (a fairly common one judging from the 34,900 hits on Google)?
