Do you poke them with a stick? Just how do you provoke memories? The Yahoo! Food writer seems to know:
Where does Yahoo! get so many writers with so little knowledge of basic English vocabulary? The writer probably meant evokes, which means “to call to mind, as by suggestion, association, or reference” (American Heritage Dictionary).

Maybe he meant memories to come.

Like from 2015?

These writers really provoke you to compose scathing responses to their errors, don’t they?

I have been provoked by their writing. And they’ve been provoked by mine (see the comments on the About Terribly Write page).

Haha! I just buzzed through there. I love when trolls use fake names to make accusations.
Since I leave comments here frequently, I suppose I’ll never be considered for employment at Yahoo! Which is fine, given all the race-baiting articles they publish. A big chunk of their readership seems to consist of KKK members, and I don’t want to write for that particular audience.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that the articles featured on yahoo.com were selected to provoke readers, especially those who hold extremist and bigoted views. I think your standards are far too high to accept employment at Y!.
