NEW HEADER!!

April 12, 2011

It’s the middle of the month (is too.  Play along.), and I’m bored, and… new Robi-banner!  This is the second of the several Robi the Awesome gave me for my birthday.  Enjoy!

Meg says this is one of her pet peeves.  I would be less charitable.

I love Willy’s Mexicana Grill, and I’ll tell you the #1 reason why, which is that their sinaloa tofu is actually delicious, and doesn’t make me feel like a second-class citizen for avoiding meat.  But I don’t care how delectable that orange juice and garlic marinade is, it doesn’t make this apostrophe abuse okay.

Reporter #1 sends in this snapshot she took, explaining that “For those of us who live in Tim Hortons country, it’s that festive time of year called Rrroll up the Rrrrim to Win!”  She also mentions that “since I haven’t ‘won’ so much as a free coffee, I can’t really speak to what this means.” …read more.

Galen found this exciting new job opportunity at Seven Days Classifieds. She notes, and it’s true, that we can’t know whether the employer or some website editor is to blame here.  But also? “Assitant” isn’t a word, and even the most basic of spell-checks would have caught it.  It doesn’t even have the Spell-Check Excuse.
