Personally, I think Yahoo's site shows that much of it was designed by non-writers. Parts of their system are horrible to navigate, and don't even get me started on their lack of accessibility. On that issue I will say, however, that the last time I ran a Bobby scan of their homepage <http://www.yahoo.com> it had a priority 1 violation on the first element of the page. If you can't see that image map, you cannot get find the Help section from that page.

tech writers of staff. The person said that they either hire contractors
when they need some writing done or they just have engineers write content.

I was rendered pretty much speechless.
