Grammar FAIL




Out of long habit, I use Yahoo as my web browser's home page. I kind of like the shifting assortment of news items it presents over the course of a day.

But once in a while they screw up royally. I just caught one such instance. Look at the circled headline: "Evidence suggests WikiLeaks suspect may of had help." Ai yi yi!

It's extremely common in chat boxes and online forums for ignoramuses to write something like, "I would of called you." For them, you can just dismiss it as somebody who failed third grade. But who is Yahoo hiring that writes its news headlines that way???
