It's spelled cereal, people. Not cerial or ceriel or cireal. You're posting about a box of the stuff that's sitting on your kitchen table. Pry your gaze away from the computer for two seconds and READ THE DANGED BOX IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPELL THE *#&**@@@ WORD!

I feel better now. Thanks.

If you think an apostrophe was one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, you will never work for me. If you think a semicolon is a regular colon with an identity crisis, I will not hire you. If you scatter commas into a sentence with all the discrimination of a shotgun, you might make it to the foyer before we politely escort you from the building.

Bombay doors.
BOMBAY doors????? in an an article about a WW2 bomber, written by a guy who has a WW2 website and you'd think would know better.
The story in question has been reposted in quite a few places and no one has fixed it anywhere.
Bombay doors? you've got to be kidding me.
It's bomb bay.

Oh holy crappola - now I see that bomb bay doors is listed in the Urban Dictionary as the kind of phrase that may well be **** out by the auto-nanny here.
Let's see, shall we?

I saw a sign in the supermarket. Someone on my street is having a garage sale tomorrow, and they are selling a two-piece sectional couch with a matching oddaman.

I wouldn't want that. I divorced my oddaman a number of years ago, and I'm happy sitting on my own couch with just my cats.
