Pilates is a proper noun; it gets a capital P.

Proper punctuation eludes the proofreaders, too, with this missing comma:

Jimmy Buffett is not a buffet, which is like a smorgasbord, but with an early bird special:

Is that a period, a decimal point, or just another typo?

Rounding out the problems on yahoo.com is the worst misstep of them all:

Of course, the USDA didn’t ban milk. But the writer doesn’t feel it necessary to be precise. Or accurate. Also on that page, you’ll find:

It’s not exactly a secret that the lingerie store is Victoria’s Secret.

You can see mistakes like this on Yahoo! Shine every day:

They’ve given up on punctuation, adding an incorrect hyphen after the adverb newly:

They’re not even trying to spell words right. Maybe they think that two words that rhyme must be spelled alike. Someone please hand them a cheat sheet with some common misspellings:

Take a simple little word like a. How the heck did the writer think that a L.A.  is correct? Unless the writer pronounces L.A. as “lah.” Then it would be correct; dumb, but correct:

(The lowercase W in web might be right; it might be wrong. If Yahoo! had a standard for spelling this word, then we’d know if it is correct. Right now, Yahoo! writers use both Web and web.)

Oh, in case you want to see samples of the photographer’s artwork, the writer has generously supplied two identical slide shows for your viewing pleasure:

I’m sure she meant to do that because nobody could be that careless.
