Prawn heads and shells. If you have a dog, epsom salts instead.

This goes to show you that a spell checker is only useful in eliminating typos while it does not replace knowledge. The bad speller will simply have to rely on luck when choosing from the offered options. A spell checker is a tool for people who make typos. Those who can't spell need to study up until this tool becomes useful to them.

By the way, here is the definition for Brittan.

That's it, the right word to describe that boss of ours. He is both Britain and Brittan.

Now I understand, many Britain are Brittan.

 

[moribundman]

No, you are still getting it wrong. Besides possibly being a Brittan (Learn proper English before using slang!) your boss is British. He is from (Great) Britain. You can say he is a Briton, a Britisher, or a Brit. If you don't like him, call him a sodding wanker.

Pom makes it much easier.

Add the F bomb behind it for effect.

 

[moribundman]

That'll do.

So, how is your orange intake these days?

 

[moribundman]

I eat between 4 and 6 oranges per day currently.

 

[Shannow]

Made a salad to have with tea last night.

Grated carrots, mixed with chopped orange (each segment chopped into 3 bits), well incorporated to get the stuff mixed, then crumbled some fetta onto it.

 

[moribundman]

Oranges and carrots go together very well. I often juice carrots and oranges together. I like to add some parsley. Fruit and cheese are great together also. I love brie and grapes.

That eclipses me by 2 to 4.

Wow - that was nice. I put some TJ sea salt on both halves of my pinky grappy fruit this AM. Very tasty. I expected to get some weird clash or at best two distinct flavors. Actually salt brought the whole thing together. Neato.

ALERT!

The Asian Citrus Psyllid bug is devastating orange groves in Florida!

Thousands of acres of groves have been destroyed.

This microscopic bug has came to America through Mexico on 7/08.

Forget a wall on our southern border - we need a frikkin force field.
