I'd eat that. The dog, that is. I wouldn't touch Rachel Ray with a stick.

excellent.

Awesome! I am an English tutor and have discussed the usefulness of the comma for exacting meaning. I have some fine examples of sentences: "Help us get from under, Wonder Woman!" (no male I talked to would make much effort to escape from Lynda Carter) and "Don't do anything stupid" (put the comma where you'd like, if applicable). But this is a phenomenal example. I bet Roy Peter Clark is sad he didn't think this one up for The Glamour of Grammar.

That was the first honest laugh I've had all day. Thank you so much.

Great catch, @6. You get the Slog Hoax-Spotter award of the day!

@6: What I can't figure out is why the commas that ARE there (in the headline, unshopped) look so shitty -- they look too small, too high and too far away. Whoever laid this out must have deliberately futzed around with them so they look like this. Why, why, why?!

Don't worry. The "recipe" consisted only of arranging some hot dog slices and sprinkling some grated cheese on top and calling it "cooking". The family and dog are fine.

Well, you can have a 30-minute meal or you can have a meal that isn't made of dog and family members, but you can't have both.

Yay for Rachael Ray's Pit bull getting more photo ops!!! Typos or not seeing Pit bulls in mainstream media always makes me smile!!

Rephrase: seeing pit bulls accurately portrayed as great family pets in the media always makes me smile

Please wait...
