Yes, but which one?

On news.yahoo.ca today, I was horrified to see the headline, "Survey finds Albertan's unhappy despite province's wealth." I guess that this headline was supposed to mean that many Albertans are unhappy. But I guess the headline would be correct if only one Albertan was unhappy (meaning, "Survey finds Albertan is unhappy".)

I find it so utterly satisfying when something like this happens on a major site like Yahoo.
