Yahoo! Canada News on Twitter

I've posted many Yahoo! errors, but never anything from Yahoo! Canada's Twitter account, mainly because I didn't know/care about Yahoo!'s Twitter account. Based on what I saw recently when browsing Yahoo!'s tweets, I will not be checking in on Yahoo!'s Twitter again, as I would quickly become overwhelmed. I'm on the verge of overwhelmed as it is. Even the introductory header is slightly off. Why no exclamation mark in Yahoo!? And why have a location of Toronto, Ontario? On to the tweets themselves. First,

anoter should be another, and second,

out due should be outdo. Click an image to enlarge it.

Steed Cycles in northern Vancouver

I was confused when I read the above in "The royal treatment" on Yahoo! Canada Lifestyle on December 21, 2009. By "northern Vancouver" does the writer mean downtown? That's as far north as you can go in Vancouver before crossing the bridge to North Vancouver, an entirely different city. A brief online search reveals that Steed Cycles is indeed located in North Vancouver, and that took about fifteen seconds to fact check.
