Steve Carell would be so much better

You know what would be better than this from Yahoo! Screen‘s “Daily Shot”? If the writer had taken the time to learn how to spell Steve Carell’s name. And if the writer had taken the time to figure out how to write a link:

You’d think that someone working for one of the biggest Internet companies in the world would know how to do both.

John who?

Confused by possessive characters

Confused? You’re not the only one. The editor for Yahoo! Screen couldn’t figure out where the apostrophe goes: before or after the S? Let’ put it before and after!

Not cutting it in 2012

Here’s a news flash for the writer of Yahoo! Screen’s “Style Studio” — it’s not 2012. You might want to turn over a few pages on your calendar:

Worse than normal

This is no worse than normal errors you’ll find on Yahoo!. This time it’s from Yahoo! Screen:

Uncovering a striking resemblance

Sometimes I can’t bear the mistakes on Yahoo! This homophonic horror from Yahoo! Screen bears a striking resemblance to quite a few other embarrassments from the Internet giant:

What? No spell-checker?

I guess there’s no spell-checker for captions over at Yahoo! Screen. That’s too bad, because this misspelling of Ukrainian might have been avoided:

Of course, there’s ample evidence that Yahoo! writers and editors don’t use a spell-checker, even when one is available. And no one bothers to proofread. That means that an error like this, which would be embarrassing anywhere else, is acceptable and expectable.

Justin Bieber’s blah, blah

This might as well say Justin Bieber’s blah, blah, blah.

That would make as much sense as this video title on Yahoo! Screen.

Which peak are you referring to?

Which peak was the writer on Yahoo! Screen referring to? I can see several in the picture:

I think it’s the big purple peak, but I’d have to take a sneak peek at the video to know for sure.

Having a nervous breakdown

To the writer for Yahoo! Screen: Don’t have a nervous breakdown about this, but you made a mistake. Let me break down this error for you: Breakdown is a noun. The verb is two words: break down.
