Yahooooooooo! April 2012

 Errors. The Yahoo! Canada homepage. April 2012. Let's go. On April 4, 900 years old should not have had any hyphens. None. Zero. Then,

 later that same day, department received one T too many. Then,

 again later that same day, of should have been off. Then,

 on April 12, the hyphen in Julia Louis-Dreyfus is not - repeat, not - in the correct place. Then,

  later that same day, Jimmy Buffett's last name was short a T. Then,

 after clicking to the article ("Jimmy Buffet to replace ailing Eddie Vedder in May 3 Jazz Fest lineup" on Yahoo! Canada Music on April 11, 2012), I saw that the headline was also wrong, despite the article itself getting it right in the very first paragraph! For shame, Associated Press and Canadian Press. Then,

again later that same day (April 12), there was another nonword on the homepage. When searching for siezes on dictionary.com, the first suggestion is suezes. The second suggestion is sizes. There are eight suggestions for actual words and seizes is not one of them! Then,

on April 19, there was a misspelling of Denis Leary's first name. And,

yup, the article ("Dennis Leary's Dick Clark tweets raise eyebrows" on Yahoo! Canada News on April 19, 2012) had/has the same error, despite the name being correct in the article's first sentence! Sound familiar? Smh. Then,

on April 20, why did the writer leave the Y out of Trayvon's name (in the smaller font)? Also, does it seem to you, as it did to me, that it was the judge who directly addressed the teen's mourning parents? I checked the article, and it was the accused shooter who did the addressing. Kinda misleading there, Yahoo! writer. Finally,

on April 25, I think the first the should have been then. Done. Click an image to enlarge it.

(TDW stands for That's Damn Wrong.)

The period that is after the closing parenthesis should be before the closing parenthesis. From "Chart Watch Extra: One Hit Wonders" on Yahoo! Canada Music on July 11, 2011.

a Kayne-free 2010

That's supposed to be Kanye-free in "Please Go Away in 2010" on Yahoo! Canada Music on December 8, 2009.

Idol winners' cringe-worthy gig; Oscar Meyer Wieners

Signing out of Yahoo! Canada is always an exciting time. 'What will Yahoo! Canada's homepage's errors be this time? Will I have enough will and determination to post them all? When will my legs feel okay after doing the Grouse Grind this morning?' Before leaving to do the Grind, I captured the above image. In the purple box on the right side, the text says, "Winner forced to sing jingles" (note the singular winner), while under the main photo the text says "Idol winners' cringe-worthy gig". The singular has become plural, as the apostrophe should have gone *before* the S for it to remain singular. Right below that, however, it's back to singular with "Host forces star" and not stars. The photo is of just one individual - and two out of three times the text was singular - so I am pretty sure it is supposed to be singular, but just to be safe I click the link to be 100% sure.

Yup, one single winner: Kris Allen. However, the Yahoo! Canada Music article, "Kris Allen's Commercial Appeal, Alexa Chung's Commercial Flop" - which includes an embedded video of the gig - has its very own error. As the commercial jingle makes clear, the bologna's second name is M-A-Y-E-R.

My 16-year-old cousin moves with more enthusiasm then these so-called professionals.

Oh, the irony. A writer commenting on the so-called professionalism of others while simultaneously making a then for than error. Beautiful.

fractured nose and stiches in his lip

-- "Bret Michaels Reveals Messed-Up Face, Rips Tony Producers" on Yahoo! Canada Music on June 12, 2009

After seeing this misspelling I laughed myself into stitches. Maybe Bret Michaels did indeed have lines of verse in his lip, but why would that be paired up with a fractured nose?

wearing vaccum-packed pleather pants

-- "America Gets It Wrong: Kris Allen Wins 'Idol'" on Yahoo! Canada Music on May 20, 2009

I think the writer's brains have been all sucked up by Adam's vacuum, if you know what I mean.
