This morning I opened Yahoo, and found two mistakes in their flashy news headlines section I was hoping to attribute to being half-asleep and bleary-eyed.

One mistake is a very common one, but still should have been caught if they have a halfway decent editor on staff. (Bartleby). The other is just asinine. Readheads? At first I thought it was some sort of pun. Maybe our Neanderthal ancestors had the gift of literacy? No, just a poorly-edited headline.

For shame, Yahoo. You have thousands upon thousands of employees. Get one that can spell to proofread your headlines before they go out. It just takes a few seconds.
