At least its peak is right

At least the writer of Yahoo! TV’s ”Primetime in No Time” spelled peak correctly, although it’s is the wrong homophone here:

Sneaking up a hill

Sneak a peek at this. Maybe the writer of “Daytime in No Time” on Yahoo! TV was thinking about sneaking up a mountain or something:

Slippery slop

There’s an amazing article on Yahoo! Shine. Amazing in the variety and number of sloppy errors one writer can make and inflict on the public. From the overly punctuated quotations here:

and here:

to the unnecessary and duplicated words here:

There’s a mysterious expression that defies explanation:

And the use of a zero instead of the letter O:

WTF? How does the writer not see this little bit of HTML when proofreading?

Silly me. Clearly the writer doesn’t proofread, because if she did, she’d notice that this is the wrong word:

Injecting a little humor, the writer continues with the slop:

Not that this is the worst error ever, but a missing article here makes the whole sentence a tad awkward:

Poor Dad. He’s deserving of a capital letter here:

Humor again! I love it! The writer was hoarding the hilarious homophonous errors, but is sharing them with the reader:

This slippery slop may just get the writer a jump-start on reconsidering her career choice:

Diabetes steals Web site

It’s no laughing matter: Diabetes stole this woman’s life. But not before stealing her Web site:

I don’t know which is sadder: the loss of a friend or this headline on Yahoo! Shine.

Now I get it: This is Shine

I just don’t get it. How does a supposed professional writer misspell two names in the very first paragraph of an article? 

It’s not the first time this writer has managed to misspell Mizrahi. Personally, I don’t get it. It seems like a simple name. How can a writer specializing in fashion misspell that name?

I also don’t get what the heck this is supposed to be conveying:

OK. I lied. That mess conveys a very clear message: The writer can’t write and can’t proofread. And she also has no idea when to use an apostrophe to form a possessive:

It is possible that this grammatically challenged writer thinks that the plural of woman is womens. Or maybe the plural of the women is womens.

Let’s be generous and call this incorrect verb a mere typo:

And with some really creative thinking I can imagine that this actually makes sense, even though it appears to be complete nonsense:

And this is no doubt a little bit of humor inserted to amuse the reader:

This whole mess hasn’t fared well. But this is from Yahoo! Shine. That much I get and it explains a lot.

There’s no bigger treat than this

For grammar nerds there’s no bigger treat than finding an error made by a professional writer. In this case, it’s by the author of Yahoo! TV’s “Daytime in No Time”:

Time for a little adult supervision

Oh, lordie. Why are some writers allowed out in public without adult supervision? Someone over at Yahoo! Shine needs to watch this writer and exercise a little oversight because readers of her blog posts are recipients of some of the most egregious errors in Webdom.

How difficult is it to run spell-check or to verify the spelling of Whoopi Goldberg?

The relatively minor offense of omitting the hyphen in ’80s-inspired

is offset due to a horrendous homophone error:

Hallelujah! There’s only one misspelling here:

Good job! But next time, try hyphenating the compound adjective high-end:

Yodeling too hard?

Ya-hoooo! Someone may have been yodelin’ a little too hard over at Yahoo! and it may have temporarily affected the air supply to the writer’s brain. The writer of a recent blog entry on the Yahoo!  corporate blog, Yodel Anecdotal, made a couple of typos (let’s be charitable and call them that), a common punctuation error, and a homophonous goof.

Rob Cavallo might be an actual important person (I have no idea who he is), but he’s probably not the entire chief creative office. Maybe a chief creative officer. But office? I think not. Anyhoo, the man is highly acclaimed, which doesn’t need the hyphen after the adverb highly:

Mr. Cavallo may have been timing the coaching, but I think he probably spent time coaching:

Homophonous errors know no bounds:

Ya-hoooo! I think I’d be yodeling a little less and proofreading a little more.

How to be the queen of nibbling

Here’s how to be the queen of nibbling from Yahoo! Shine:

Of course, if you’re watching your weight, you might want to rein in the nibbling. And you might want to get meals back on track. But I’m just suggestin’.

If you can’t be right, at least be consistent

If you can’t be right, at least be consistent. That seems to be the motto of the writer of this article on Yahoo! Shine:

For some reason, the writer has capitalized grand jury, not once but three times. I guess that makes it all okey-dokey. The writer (whose name I won’t reveal) also uses the wrong homophone here:

and an incorrect singular verb here:

Let’s not sidestep the issue, there’s no hyphen in sidestep:
