targetting touth

-- Yahoo! Canada homepage on April 2, 2009

First of all, targetting is not a word. Second of all, touth is not a word. Assuming the first word is supposed to be targeting, should the text then be targeting tooth or targeting youth? The linked-to article is "Stop scammers from targeting your teens", so I'm guessing the latter. And, hey, at least the article's headline didn't have an extra t. (Note: several hours after the errors were first detected touth is now youth on the homepage, but targetting remains.)
