"Whose" doing the writing at Yahoo?

Yes, OK, I'm kind of anal-retentive about writing, but things like this drive me up the wall. Is Yahoo hiring fifth graders to write their web content these days?

Oh, lord, YES!!!! I HATE those possessive plural's.

Also, perhaps even more, I can't stand when people "put" quotation marks around "words" randomly and for no "reason." Aaaaarrrrrgh!

Happy Birthday, "Jesus"!
