Oh Gary, don’t get Terry started in ‘dinning’ establishments.

“Golden Corral” is an “all-you-can-eat buffet” eating establishment on Route 13 in Carbondale.
One morning they advertised a sirloin steak special on the “bufeet” on their roadside billboard
(Even though “buffet” was correctly spelled on the side of their building).
I called and informed the manager on duty, who didn’t believe me.
The sign remained “bufeet” until they changed the special.

Too literate. Yup – lowest common denominator rules – grammar and spelling no longer matter. New World.

Tomato season is waning here, one of them melted long before getting red in the ripening bowl. BUT soon come the mangoes! The flamboyants are sparse but beginning. The baby hawks are riding the thermals screaming.

Tomayto, tomahto, whatever, as long as it is understandable, Wreg. And, I guess this ferry phrase is understandable as long as you don’t take it too literally. Like if you’re too literate.

Love it, Trudi! [You're such an art fiend, and I'm glad to have you as my fiend ]!

An art show I had here in my town of Ennis a few years back was written up in the local small town paper. A friend and I held it together; we were described in the article as having been “fiends” for years. I loved that…

In South Carolina they spell buses …busses. Both are correct but I only see busses in SC.
