Argh.

In the latest issue of Time Magazine (February 26, 2007), an article about people overnighting on New Hampshire's Mt. Washington talks about them as being "hearty," when it should be "hardy." (I've seen this error elsewhere in the past several months, though of course I can't remember now where.) Can people (as opposed to slaps on the back, or cheers, or toasts, etc.) even be hearty?

I think you must have accidentally gotten hold of a copy of Time for Bears. Check over the magazine carefully: does it smell of salmon, ants or honey?

One i've heard several times is "A tough ROAD to hoe" - makes me think of a very conservative part of the red light district....

Hee hee!

The freebie weekly paper had an article about tonight's international food festival, saying there was sure to be something to please everyone's pallet. Cringe.
