Editing
Please use better writers, editing techniques, and proof reading of any and all articles posted. I know kindergartners who can write better articles.
Thank you

I can only help you so much. Talk about writers being illiterate. Seems the readers are, too.

Okay yahoo can't edit the articles they post but shouldn't they at least be reading what they post before posting it? Or do they simply put out any thing that comes across their desks? Honestly they could put a little bit more effort into checking their articles before posting it. Refusing to post something with grammatical errors could be a good start.

@Steph, you're clearly uneducated about intellectual property. Yahoo has no rights to change a single period in any article coming through the feed. They are not the authors and they do not hold the copyright. They cannot change it. You should really be careful before calling people idiots. It tends to backfire.

@Anonymous of Dec 4..........
IMPO, If yahoo is going to post an article then yahoo should be checking it for errors and report it for correction to the source before posting it........

I couldn't agree more, Kyle!
It gets rather difficult trying to read an article when it is full of grammar and spelling errors.
As for the anonymous under my comment................you must be one of those idiot writers! -

Yahoo articles may contain some mistakes, but you don't know any kindergarteners who can write better, let's be real. You are just being a d*** for no reason

I love reading most yahoo articles, but as an English major I can't stand coming across typos. Are you hiring?

"a Wikipedia stable" - where they keep the Wikipedia horses. Mr. Pfeiffer, if Yahoo doesn't have editors, surely there must be someone in your life, a mom?, a girlfriend?, someone who could edit your writing to catch this kind of stupid mistake.

The majority of the articles come from other news services. Yahoo isn't authorized to edit them. When you see an error, look at the byline and see if it's AP, Reuters, etc., and complain to the proper source.
