Q. The menu in our cafeteria shows that enchiladas are available “Tues.–Fri.” However, when I ordered one on a Wednesday, I was informed that enchiladas are available on Tuesday AND Friday, not Tuesday THROUGH Friday. When I informed the cafeteria manager that this was incorrect, she seemed shocked and refused to change the sign. Please help determine who is correct!

A. Although the sign was incorrect, I’m not sure you should annoy the person who provides the enchiladas.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm off to read and I hope to catch a few more gems.

2. The cafeteria at

Wichita State at one time had a sign outside with the daily special, Orange Roughly. Sort of an adverbial fish, I think. I'm also frustrated with how many errors there are in books currently. Don't they hire PROOFREADERS? Current pet peeve is "chaise lounge," but that's a pervasive problem--even happens on Trading Spaces--with the designers! Drives me wiggy!
