It’s practically expected

A typo on the Yahoo! front page? It happens every day:

A grammatical error on yahoo.com?  It’s not unusual to find that a Yahoo! editor doesn’t know that the possessive of actress is actress’s:

Do you think the editor may be facing disciplinary action for a missing word here?

Nah. This is Yahoo! and errors like these are expected.

    And the hits just keep on comin’! I think we could construct an entire college course just using these examples of editorial carelessness prior to publishing. Come on, Yahoo, is this the best that you can do?
