WARNNING: TO AVOID DANGER OF SUFFOCATION KEEP AWAY FORM BAGES AND CHILDREN.
My eye persists in reading "bages" as "bagels", and "warnning" as being somehow more emphatic than the ordinary kind.
The usual drunken Thaifoodfestdrunkup with jo&stv this evening resulted, among the usual Wayward Puppy conversation, in the concept of Revised Standard Orthodox Grammar, a new religion which metes out fiery death to apostrophe abusers and other heretics. First up against the wall when the jihad sweeps the land will be the Dear Little Students who rendered this afternoon's batch of marking horrible by their persistent refusal to believe that a sentence actually needs a verb.
