  Terribly Write — Authority: 144
  Yahoo! Shine  asks an intriguing, typo-laden question: Should boys have barbecues? I never considered barbies “gender-specific toys,” so I’m not sure what the writer is getting at.

  Studies show that typos and other errors have an adverse effect on a Web site’s credibility. So, how credible is Yahoo! Health ? The typo is bad enough. But worse?
