Hi, I just had post this reply so you could see it in your notifications. It appears some asshole has hacked into your Kinja account and is posting stupid and unnecessary contrarian posts with unnecessary semantics arguments.

Oh come now, Mr. Trout. Have you ever been to a steakhouse in the Midwest? IT'S WHERE OUR COWS COME FROM. THEY CAN COOK A STEAK. That is ENTIRELY the fault of the Cracker Barrel.

"You really shouldn't call it a bowl if you aren't going to put soup in it!"

This one comes via my husband, who this actually happened to:

So many of these stories demonstrate the adage of what I've learned being a designer
