@YahooPH gives bad head
Everyone of us who are seasoned in journalism knows that a good head (headline to the layman) is noble: imagine being able to write the meat of the matter in just a few words. But a bad head? I almost choked when I read this in the world's No. 2 search engine before I retired to bed last night: Being the grammar nazi, I felt compelled to post the glaring error on my Facebook wall while calling the attention of the only Yahoo contact I know on FB, tech editor Alora Guerrero. Sorry Alora if we caused you to panic, as this is obviously beyond your turf. ... Continue Reading...
