Look Askew? How about Look Askance?

The Sept. 27 Sunday New York Times Week in Review section's Ping columnist Brad Stone asks if "social network sites ... will look askew... ."

The expression he wanted is "look askance," which means to view with suspicion or doubt. Askew and askance are not synonyms when used in that context, if they are synonyms at all in any context. Ironic that those who work in precision disciplines such as technology or engineering can be highly imprecise, if not flat-out wrong, in their use of language.
