Frozen orange juice: A childhood pastime

Jun 20th 2008 7:11AM on Slashfood

The title of this article should read 'pastime' not 'past time' (sic) which doesn't make sense.

Hellmann's UK to make mayo with free-range eggs

Despite the picture clearly showing the correct spelling of the name Hellmann's, it is spelt incorrectly throughout this article.

Things I wish I could ask my 8-day-old baby

Feb 13th 2008 8:56PM on ParentDish

My post was meant to be in reply to Cari (but somehow it didn't turn out that way), who made a post referring to the abuse of the apostrophe, but misspelt the word itself in her post (there is no double P).

Just found it amusing that somebody making a post about poor grammar would demonstrate poor spelling, and made a lighthearted comment about it.

Perhaps your misspelling of "apostrophe" will cause you the same upset.

.... "fired for posting spoof messages on her website"

Some reports may state that, but the BBC has this quote from a London Underground spokeman, which makes it clear that her spoof announcements are not why she was fired:

"It's not because of the spoof announcements. It's because she has criticised the Underground system."

The real reason is that LU believe that she criticised their service.

The Zenn of delivering the mail in Washington

"she may have to take a 20-30 minute brake later in the day"

Presumably the Zenn has regenerative braking, and she's recharging the motor .... or, more likely, you actually should have written BREAK instead of brake!

Thomas, WTF has this got to do with the subject of this thread? Please take your spam, however well intentioned, somewhere else.

Happy National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day!

Nov 19th 2007 9:19AM on Slashfood

"I'm not sure why this isn't just called National Soda Day"

For the completely obvious reason that not all sodas are caffeinated - 7-Up, for example.

"M, it's not backward,"

... only it definitely is.

"that's how I intended to write it. It's a common way to structure a phrase. See above."

Your phrase is the reverse of those examples.

DAMurphy has shown you how it should be correctly stated.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
