Are these writing skills acceptable? Really?

The following is a sentence taken from a Wall Street Journal article:

"Getting certified as a Temporary Staffing Specialist, a Personnel Consultant, or a Professional in Human Resources don't require any coursework"

"Doesn't" anyone proof these articles, especially for a prestige newspaper such as the WSJ?  (Hint:  "doesn't" should be used in this sentence, in this context.)

Another faux pas:

"...all require previous experience and the passage of an exam. "

Through what form or means is the exam passing?  "Passage" in this instance, is used improperly.  It should be edited to read "all require previous experience and passing an exam". 

Ok.  Well, this is the kind of reader I am.  It stems from my years as a youngster when my older sister, Margaretann (who was one of the smartest people I have ever known, and a grade school teacher) taught me how to read and write, among other things.  So this is a constant with me.  Throughout my college years (of the past decade), I have always received high grades (nothing lower than a B+) on my papers.

I can write conversationally, or in essay form as the need arises.

Yes, the world has been following this event and it's a glorious day - finally - to see them being rescued...albeit slowly.
