We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

Big fat yeast what?

Listen, I'm not a huge sports fan. I don't think that comes as a surprise to anyone here, seeing as how I missed that whole "bye" thing a while back. However, this is a nice story, and illustrates a bit of thoughtfulness on the part of this young man's teammates.

It's a shame the reporter wasn't quite so thoughtful. Have a look at the fifth paragraph:

This paragraph is all one sentence. That seems excessive.
"...then switched rolls to move..." is wrong. Never switch rolls with someone! Always eat the one you were served. Also, put the butter on your plate and THEN spread it on the roll. That's how to be classy, y'all. Incidentally, the word this reporter was looking for here was ROLES. Rolls are yeasty. Or they will actually roll somewhere (amongst other definitions). A role refers to the parts people play.

The role of the roll-eater will be played tonight by me!

I wish. Someone bring me a roll!

(Thanks, MLW!)
