Some writers have a way with words. They know how to create images, how to create moods, how to create excitement. This is not one of those writers. She writes for Yahoo! Shine, which is not exactly like writing for the National Review, or even the National Enquirer.
She’s written an article about Sophia Loren, who at 78 years old is still a great beauty. And who somehow proves that beauty isn’t wasted on the young. So that means that the young make good use of beauty? Or that there are no young beauties? I actually have no idea what this is supposed to mean:

At least I think the apostrophe means that some numbers (like “19″) are missing. The arbitrary comma is the kind of mistake this writer often makes.

You’re right, Shine isn’t exactly news, but it is one of the most popular sites for Yahoo!, so millions of people (mostly women) read it every day. And these mistakes aren’t exactly typos!
