Tired of the Endless Errors

Look, I really get tired of seeing stories posted with spelling errors. Not just GMA but other news sources as well. Show a modicum of professionalism and edit your work! News media should be absolutely embarrassed when they post stories with misspelled words or incorrect grammar or both. Now, they seem to just not care. Well, I frankly, am tired of seeing such sloppy journalism. It's hard to take anything you publish as serious when you can't get spelling or grammar right. I mean honestly, take some pride.
Most recent article is on the man suing the pool table company. It’s Orange County. Not Orange “Country”!

        What's really sad is there's a little thing called spell check, which obviously some of these yahoo writers don't know how to use it. My word processing program even checks grammar! Even then the articles should be proof read in cases of using the wrong words! All a part of good editing that yahoo does not have!

        Perfectly stated! If they don't care about being professional when it comes to grammatical errors why should I think they care about the facts?

        Since you note that these articles come from GMA, ABC, AP, Reiuters, etc., you should be aware that Yahoo doesn't always have the authority to edit; only feed. Complain to the correct source.
