And if I’ve never heard of this restaurant at all? A description lets me imagine it. The name does nothing to clear it up, even if it’s at the beginning - I might even make the same mistake as the women in the story, if I only have the name of the place to go on. Lots of restaurants sell cheesecake. I could imagine…

I got my bridesmaid dress from ASOS too! On sale for $80, it was totally wedding-appropriate (actually billed at a prom dress on the site) and I liked it way better than that David’s bridal crap.

I LOL’d at “matching the table runners”. Like, not even the flowers? You want to match awkward table linens? That’s just too funny.

I had the same thing happen so much (also Sbux in Toronto). The number of times I got people asking for “half coffee and half hot chocolate” and then insisting me correcting them to “mocha” was wrong just...

it’s best for public safety that I don’t work there any more.

(“No! Please! We want the really disgusting…

Not everybody is familiar with American restaurants. There’s a whole world out there.

Just lame dads.

She assumed the scribble was a placeholder for the shadow that the artist forgot to remove or replace before finishing the piece. In photoshop, illustrator, and other art software (except Paint ‘cause it sucks) you work in digital layers so you can continue to move and edit parts independently.

I think that’s what most people do tbh. I don’t think most people expect the gifts will be new to the couple, upgrading to something nicer is usually acceptable as long as prices don’t go too high.

Weight in kids is only a concern when it gets to extreme highs or lows. Kids are growing and they need more calories as an adult ‘cause they simply use more energy by existing, nevermind the physical play they do. Their bodies usually even out during or after puberty, barring a fucked up diet, eating disorders, or a…

I just found out my calorie counting app was under-counting the calories by about 200 on the sushi I was regularly having for lunch. No more sushi for me. :(

If you have a son or nephews, they’re the ones that need to be taught what’s right.

Otherwise, make it clear to your daughter that what other people are doing around her isn’t her responsibility or fault, and she doesn’t have to be respond or be polite if it makes her feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

I don’t really care if you read or respond to this or not.

Just ‘cause people use it doesn’t mean it can’t be incorrect. People also say “I seen that thing” instead of “I saw that thing”; it’s a common mistake that happens and it’s something people seem to have just accepted, but that doesn’t make it any less of a crime against the English language.

But in that case the thing you’re referring to is being dipped is the bucket, not the water. The bucket is dipped into the water, the water is lifted out by dipping the bucket in. Saying you dip your hand or a scoop into the ice cream case is correct, ‘cause your hand/scoop is the object you’re placing the dipping…

One is using “dip” as an adjective, the other as a noun. Checkmate.

Since when is “dipping something out” a proper term? “Dipping” alone implies putting something into something just a little and quickly; scooping is taking something out.

This makes no sense and I do not accept your regionalism.

Magic School Bus answers everything. It’s surprising how often I ask people “Did you not see that one episode...?” due to some gap in knowledge.

More likely it was all “stop eating so much rice and eat fries like Americans” or something super ignorant. I think that’s much more likely than a subtle pop-culture/news reference.

My only issue with it (as an award-winning designer myself) is that it can’t be rendered in black and white very well. You get a weird silhouette and the arrow is mostly lost, with just an odd triangle on the side. You know for something that will see wide-spread use it’s going to be printed in black and grey a lot,…

Not the only one who’s seen it either:
