A Less Than Glowing Recommendation
From a Slate review of magazine gift-giving guides:
Dim Ideas: Pom-pom makers ($31 for 4—"the pom-sibilities are endless"), "quirky" Edison bulbs. ($8 each—seriously, why all the hardware-store recommendations? Next year, the florescent bulbs from Martha's assistant's cubicle.)
You may recall that a few months ago, Slate used "florescent", which is a word, when they meant to say "fluorescent", which is not the same thing at all. And here it is again!
Here is what I want for Christmas: I want someone in the Slate office to open up their spellchecker and manually delete "florescent", since it's almost never used.
Thank you in advance.
