Thats the question Yahoo News asks:
Did he rail or didnt he rail? Perhaps he just asked the question, Where is the money for the WALL? And perhaps the editors at Yahoo dont know where a question mark goes when quoting an actual question. Heres a hint: Before the closing quotation mark.

Leave a Comment John McCain buried under CapitolbuildingSeptember 3, 2018 LauraIn what surely must be a first, the late Senator John McCain has been interred under the U.S. Capitol building, according to Yahoo News:
Although other news sources report that the senator was buried at the U.S. Naval Academy, Yahoo has scooped them all. How did that happen? Simple. The folks at Yahoo think a rotunda is the dome that covers a round building. It is not. The round building is a rotunda.

Editor 1: I think it should be half of Americans are in favor of Congress
Editor 2: No, it should be half of Americans favor Congress
Unable to select either option, the editors decide on a compromise, combining both suggestions and adding and subtracting miscellaneous words.

Leave a Comment War of wordsJune 10, 2018 LauraIn a war of words between Yahoo News editors and people familiar with English grammar, the editors would lose:
Lets hope the war of words escalates to a point that Yahoo staffers admit that they couldnt match a verb (which should be escalates) to its subject (which is war).

Its so glowingly bad it practically gleams. What can you glean from this mistake? That Yahoo doesnt think competent editors are necessary and using the correct word is irrelevant.

With a hyphen, stand-up is a variant of standup, which is an adjective (hes a standup guy) or noun (hes a comedian who only does standup). As a verb, its stand up, without a hyphen and the idiom that means to confront is stand up to, also without a hyphen.

Leave a Comment New York AG proponent of sexualmisconduct?May 7, 2018 LauraIm scratching myself and wiping the dandruff off my keyboard over this teaser on Yahoo News:
I know what an opponent of sexual misconduct is. But what is an opponent against sexual misconduct? I think it means the attorney general of New York is a proponent of the shady activity. Hes also accused of non-consenual behavior, which is another head-scratcher. Maybe if Yahoos editors used a spell-checker they would tell us that its consensual behavior.

Leave a Comment What color is the roof of yourmouth?April 21, 2018 LauraSomehow, the writer for Yahoo Lifestyle managed to see the roofs of the mouths of a stylish group. I wonder what a brightly colored palate looks like:
I also wonder why the writer and her editor dont know that palate refers to the roof of the mouth and palette refers to a selection of colors. (I also wonder why theres a hyphen following brightly. Its considered wrong to put a hyphen between an adverb ending in -LY and the word it modifies.)
