Jen, I, too, stumbled upon this blog and will come back to read more. I think you might like to take a look at mine; I touch on some of the same subjects in different ways.

This site is great! I am consistently finding errors in online articles.

You can’t avoid errors online — especially if you’re reading yahoo.

Do you write, or do you just tear apart the prose of other people?

Michele, I write every blog post on Terribly Write. Is that your question?

Do you write anything other than blog posts that belittle Yahoo? What did Yahoo do to you that spawned such vitriol? Why don’t you critique other news outlets?

I am a professional writer and editor. I don’t think I’m belittling Yahoo because I only report what Yahoo’s writers and editors are doing; I don’t make up these mistakes, I merely document them so that others can learn from them. I focus solely on Yahoo because it is such a rich source of material for this blog. It takes only a few minutes of my time to find an egregious error or two or three. Why would I spend more time going through other sites looking for errors to illustrate a grammatical point? The most prolific sites have editors and a writers who have mastered their craft. And they have a handy-dandy tool known as a spell checker — something that Yahoo staffers apparently don’t have access to or don’t take advantage of.
