Try copy and paste

Is it really that hard to spell the movie title “Emmanuelle”? Apparently, for the Yahoo! front page writer, it is:

If you click on that link, you’ll go to an article with “Emmanuelle” in the headline. Couldn’t the yahoo.com writer see that? So, maybe the writer doesn’t have an “eye” for spelling. Maybe the writer can see a word and not remember how it’s spelled. If that’s the case, why didn’t the writer double-click on the title in the headline and then copy and paste it where it belongs? Oh, I know. Because that would require the writer actually care about accuracy, spelling, and avoiding looking like an idiot.

What do you think?
