• Wrong track, right ending

  
  girlofwords.com — Authority: 126
  Oh, it’s not every day a query like this comes into girlofwords.com: Poor guy. He’s never going to woo her with his romantic vocabulary if he’s looking for sweat words. Like “perspiration” and “diaphoresis” and “secretion.” No chick is going to become twitterpated with those words. Fail, ...

• Misspellings are even funnier when youre all hyper/giddy and stuff.

  
  RED PEN, INC. — Authority: 121
  Im in such a silly/hyper/giggly/giddy mood that pretty much anything seems funny to me right now, but this misspelling would be hilarious even if I wasnt so retardedly goofy right now. Not only did they royally screw up the spelling of receptacle , they even screwed it up so badly that they gave it another ...

• Should boys throw another shrimp on the barbie?

  
  Terribly Write — Authority: 140
  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. Unless, of course, the writer meant Barbie, the doll. That would be something totally different. Posted in Capitalizing, ...

  Terribly Write — Authority: 140
  Geez. Don’t you hate it when those big Hollywood movie types choose a name for a movie that’s just too darned hard to spell? I bet that’s how the writer for Yahoo! Movies  feels. Maybe. Posted in Misspellings Tagged: handkerchief, misspelling, typo, Yahoo!, Yahoo! Movies

• Make it your New Year’s resolution

  
  Terribly Write — Authority: 140
  Is someone really thinking about New Year’s resolutions now?   Not me. I’m still trying to find new ways to prepare leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Anyhoo, I’d recommend that the Yahoo!

• Once is enough for Carmella DeCesare

  
  Terribly Write — Authority: 140
  If you can spell Carmella DeCesare’s name correctly once, why can’t you spell it correctly twice? Um, perhaps once is enough for the writer of “The Thread” on Yahoo! Shine : Clearly accuracy is not a requirement for a writing gig at Yahoo!. Not only is Mrs. Garcia’s name misspelled, she’s labeled a ...

• Deepak Chopra? Depak Chopra? Trust me, it doesn’t matter

  
  Terribly Write — Authority: 140
  Millions of people every day turn to  the Internet for medical information and advice. But are they relying on trusted sources? One indicator that a Web site is credible is the quality of its writing. An obvious error (like this one found on Yahoo! Health ) could be a sign that other, more critical, information ...

• Consider another source for your health info

  
  Terribly Write — Authority: 140
  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? The link to an article on cancer; one to an article on hospice care would be a bit more relevant, don’t cha think? Posted in Links, Misspellings ...

  Terribly Write — Authority: 140
  Did Donny Osmond make an impression on the writer of Yahoo! TV ’s ”Primetime in No Time”? So the writer grew up watching “The Donny and Marie Show,” but still can’t spell his name correctly. I guess Donny didn’t make such a good impression after all. Posted in Misspellings Tagged: Donny Osmond, ...
