Shameful grammatical and spelling errors
There are days that I’m shocked by the egregious grammatical and spelling errors in your articles. Over the past year, I can recall numerous incidents of misspelled headlines, misplaced commas, and apostrophe omissions that demonstrate your editors’ laziness. Are there actually editors? I did not track or cite these incidents, as I never thought I’d actually voice this issue, but you should pay more attention. It’s irresponsible on your part not to review the basics before you post. I know most of your stories are sourced from other outlets, but I can say it is the articles from your writers that display the least amount of finesse. Thanks for listening.
Hi there, I’m sorry to hear that! We’d like to further investigate this, can you message us directly on Twitter at @YahooCare or on Facebook on our Yahoo Customer Care page? We would need the article URL and the spelling/grammar error. In case you do not have a social media account, please contact us at help.yahoo.com
Thank you!

Hire an editor or editors. At least 50% of your "articles" have grammatical errors. Spelling is a big one! Repeated paragraphs. Repeated sentences.
There are also a ton of incomplete stories. The who, where, when, what, why and especially HOW is missing.
My grade school children can provide better work grammatically and deliver more constructed and concise reports.

Amen! Get some real, trained, professional news writers, not the amateur, pseudo, opinion writers who've been writing the Yahoo "news" articles so far!!

Bad news articles cause lies and biases to spread. You need to use TRAINED news writers, not people giving their personal opinions portrayed as news articles! These are opinion articles, NOT real news articles!!

Have ALL your news article writers make available their email so we can contact them about mistakes in or comments on their articles! Virtually NONE of your news article writers provide any way to contact them. Many of their articles have mistakes, generalize, or even draw unfounded conclusions! Plus most of these writers don't know the first thing about writing a real news article because they ramble on and on and on and would do much better to condense instead!
