Yahooooooooooo! October 2013

The year was 2013 and the month was October and the errors on the Yahoo! Canada homepage were plentiful. First, on October 9 what was drooping should have been dropping. Then,

on October 10 I knew something was wrong here - because it made no sense - but I had to click to the article to determine the error: at should have been act. Then,

on October 13 there was this bit of nonsense. The Flames are not what? They're not suck? Perhaps and they don't would've been better, eh? Then,

on October 19 I read this and subsequently clicked the link and watched the video. [The article: "News Anchor Has Makeup Malfunction" on Yahoo! Canada News on October 18, 2013] Her right eye was fine; her left eye was where the problem occurred. Plus, (actually Taiwan)

this is the entire article/description below the video. The news anchor is in Taiwan, and one can clearly hear that in the video. Then,

also on October 19 there was confusion regarding Maru's last name: Oropesa or Orepesa? Then,

on October 21 I wasn't surprised to see another misspelling. It's another nonword on your homepage, Yahoo! - are you proud? Then,

on October 25 yet another nonword appeared on the Yahoo! Canada homepage - plauged should have been plagued. Also, because it's the Canadian Yahoo!, rumors should have been rumours. Then,

on October 28 it should have been in. Then,

on October 29 there was another nonword because harassed had one too many Rs. Finally,

also on October 29, the spelling of intimate got bungled. Click an image to enlarge it.

I'll take "when" for $1 million, Alex

Two things. First thing: the word when should be inserted between joking and they. Second thing: The coworkers won 1 million what? 1 million kittens? 1 million Timbits? 1 million suitcases each containing 1 million dollars? When your article (post?) consists of a video and one short sentence, you should probably make sure that sentence makes sense.

Any knee-jerk spelling is fine

Is the girl's first name Brittany or Brittney? The article ("Caught On Tape: Girl Fights Off Walmart Kidnapper" on ABC News online on February 9, 2012) has it as the former in a caption during the top-of-article video, and as the latter in the article's second paragraph.

Sportscaster Erin Andrew's Peeping Tom

-- "Who Was Erin Andrews' Peeping Tom?" on Yahoo! Canada Video on July 23, 2009

The sportscaster's name is Erin Andrews, which means the apostrophe is placed correctly in the headline but incorrectly in the subheadline.

A ball and a prayer makes

-- "Sweet Shot! Kid Makes 80-Foot Basket" on Yahoo! Canada Video

A ball makes, and a prayer makes, but a ball and a prayer make.
