    I wondered how long it would take the “writers” or “editors” at yahoo to correct this embarrassment. They just did. I really feel sorry for them; apparently their management doesn’t think their jobs are important enough to hire proofreaders or legitimated editors, and instead they rely on you to do the job. I also find it incredibly insulting to yahoo’s readers that they let mistakes like this go uncorrected for so long.
