As a school newspaper writer, I'm sure you know the difference and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I'll assume you were writing this by the ship's pool and got a piece of bikini in your eye.GrumpyGrammarGuynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-81337448117018493392009-07-17T23:12:42.148-04:002009-07-17T23:12:42.148-04:00That Mango Diet Cake sounds suspiciously like the ...That Mango Diet Cake sounds suspiciously like the recycled goulash served 5 consecutive nights in my undergrad firm cafeteria.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-10170263456658727762009-07-17T22:03:16.369-04:002009-07-17T22:03:16.369-04:00I have been on two cruise ships (pretty big ones) ...I have been on two cruise ships (pretty big ones) in the Carribean and both times I was ready to turn my cookies - I think it is the sudden slow rock when you are walking down a hall and not expecting it.
