When I left home on a rainy Saturday to watch a football game, I didn’t realize I would needed my red pencil. Does making spelling or grammar mistakes in front of customers make any difference?

Hi Mike,
Good stuff! I saw an article today on Syracuse.com about Thanksgiving dinner at the Salvation Army and they spoke about their food panty. I’ve heard of edible panties, but for Thanksgiving dinner?
Hope all is well with you and Heather ( and Chloe)
Happy Thanksgiving (and hope you’re having food, not intimate clothing) Dave

Funny…as usual. You’re the one who needs some fattening up, Dave. Enjoy lots of turkey and don’t choke on the Orange!

From the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows…I had many of those. Just showing our age.
A bad cake or sign is not always at our fingertips, so my advice is head to any sports blog – the intersection of righteous indignation and the inability to express it coherently.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, Mike – I hope we see each other again soon.
I love the Troy Nunes blog on SU sports, but he doesn’t know the difference between its and it’s (among other things). But you’re right, Dr. B., even printed daily newspapers (not to mention their online versionm) are rife with errors these days. Spell check only goes so far. Happy holidays to you and all other long-suffering Astros fans.
