That’s not fair!

The writer for Yahoo! Makers would have fared better if he had used the right homophone:

faired diy

It’s never to late

It’s never “to late.” The correct expression is “too late.” That’s just one of several homophones a Yahoo! Shine writer gets wrong in a single article:

to late 1

She’s racked up another homophonic horror here:

This whole mess hasn’t fared well. But this is from Yahoo! Shine. That much I get and it explains a lot.

No fair? No, fare

The writer of this excerpt from Yahoo! TV would have fared better using the correct word:

fair-tv-pint

No fair, Shrek

Shrek: The Musical is in rehearsals in Seattle, and the Yahoo! Broadway blogger is not faring so well writing about it:
