Amazing, I read Yahoo news to giggle about the typos

Really, I read yahoo news because I like its interface, it's easy on the eyes (mine at least).  But man don't you think a news story on the web would be 12309!82 times easier to proof read considering you got, i dono, forever to update it?

I remember a friend of mine expressing this little peeve of his and I couldn't help but think he was a little... uppety bout spelling?  He is kinda book wormsy--although he dedicates his powers to fantasy leagues instead of evil.  Nonetheless, it made me laugh a little, until I thought about it more deeply.  If the internet serves "virtually" as a library of sorts--where news paper print has become tree-friendly--then it's a wonder why some Yahoo webmaster doesn't just occasionally read the HEADLINES from time to time?  or I don't know, the person who reported it?

Otherwise, as the joe shmoe internet news reader, i really could give two shits.  It's not like typos are grammar mistakes... unless they are, in which case f-u for wasting my-- oh wait, yahoo news is free.  :-D
