There’s hardly more you could cram into a single photo caption: a misspelled Mulberry, a roof of the mouth that “seemed to pop,” and a prediction for the far distant future:
The next time this Yahoo! Shine writer is looking for a colorful word, she should dip her pen in a new palette.
What color is the roof of your mouth? Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, has a serene color palate. I’m thinking maybe it’s a sage green or perhaps a little mustard yellow:
Maybe it’s even several colors — like an artist’s palette. That’s it! A palate palette. Thanks, Yahoo! Shine. Figuring that out was fun!
Please, someone, anyone get this girl an editor. Save Yahoo! and Yahoo! Shine further embarrassment from the ramblings of a language-impaired writer.
This gal has problems, and she’s not afraid to show them. In one article she can make a dozen major goofs. Like this:
Going into what? Omitting a word and a hyphen isn’t actually a brand-new mistake for Shine writers.
Remarked at? What has he doing — talking to a metal scanner? This poor child has no idea what word to use in any situation:
Yes, CGI animation enters. Enters what, I have no idea. I’m thinkin’ maybe the Earth’s atmosphere. Or maybe Midtown Manhattan:
I’m getting tired of this. A professional writer who doesn’t know to hyphenate Broadway-style or capitalize Emmy Awards:
OK, this is just too funny. Her later apologized? Let’s give this writer a shout-out for the best typos of the week (and it’s only Tuesday):
Was Bob Iger dead? Drunk? Dead drunk? Why on Earth did they have to stand him up? Why on Earth doesn’t the writer know that TV shows need some kind of special treatment, like quotation marks?
Why doesn’t she try to hit the Shift key at the right time. Really, honey, capitalized letters mean things. So, capitalize Snuggie, which is a trademark:
Lordie. She can’t even capitalize Mickey Mouse correctly? No red-blooded American would make a mistake like this:
No, she’s not a very artistic. She’s also not a very writer:
Were you really at the Animator’s Palate, as you claim? I doubt it, because you don’t even know the name of the restaurant:
Huh? Are there too many words here:
and not enough words there?
Please, get this gal an editor. Or a different career.
Was the writer for Yahoo! Shine dipping into the Chick Beer before she sat down at the keyboard? That could explain the misspelled curlicue, silhouette, and technique:
Perhaps she was a bit tipsy when she decided that palate (which means “the roof of a mouth” or “a sense of taste”) was the correct word instead of palette (which refers to colors):
Is this evidence of more alcohol-fueled typing? A six-pack deserves a hyphen when it’s used as a modifier, you’re is just laughingly wrong, and there’s two commas missing (to set off liquor industry):
My advice to the writer? Next time, wait a bit after imbibing before you try to type; otherwise, you just end up looking like an idiot.
Did the writer for Yahoo! Shine‘s “The Thread” actually check the color of Julia Roberts’ mouth to declare it brown?
Ms. Roberts’ palate is the roof of her mouth or her sense of taste (the kind of taste involving food, not clothes. Unless she’s chewing on her sweater). The colors she chooses to wear are part of her palette.
What is up with this Yahoo! Shine writer’s obsession with YELLING? She seems to have forgotten that ALL CAPITAL LETTERS are a no-no online:
The accompanying article doesn’t get much better. There’s a misplaced comma here, not to mention a missing word:
Is while the wrong word? (I think she meant because.) I’m not sure what the writer is trying to say, but her writing is hardly spot-on:
I read two words here and stopped:
That’s the effect of a comma inserted where it has no business to be.
OK, so the writer got my attention with the SHOUTING. So, I read on and learned that Tony Robbins likely gets his suits custom-made. But why on God’s green earth wouldn’t he want to look better?
I have no idea what color Mr. Robbins’ palate is:
Did someone check this man’s mouth to determine it’s just one color?
Two words go awry in this excerpt from Yahoo! Shine:
I think the writer meant in particular or specifically. And unless the writer is applying the coriander to an artist’s palette, the correct word is palate.
Applying pastries to an artist’s palette isn’t the traditional way to begin a painting. But if you have a refined palate and a sweet tooth, you might enjoy them for breakfast.
Thanks, Yahoo! The Spark, for the laugh of the day.
