"Remember, we always use this word when talking about the past. So when do you use use to without the d at the end? When the base form of the verb is used. Look at these examples- She didn't use to swim before noon. (Now she does swim before noon.) Or Did your father use to ride a horse? In these cases the past tense is shown with the did and didn't."
Thank you! You are right. I got my undies in a bundle when I should have let them hang loose! Maybe I need to simmer down a bit.
You must not be able to eat in any ethnic restaurants. I don't think I've ever seen a Chinese menu with all the words spelled correctly.
Due to the sanitation/hygiene issues in most Chinese restaurants that I have encountered, I stopped going to them several years ago. Food poisoning on one occasion is probably...a chance issue. When it occurs twice at an establishment, there is clearly an issue with sanitation/hygiene. When it happens multiple times at several different establishments, there is a more wide-spread problem.
However, when I did still go to these mostly-dirty places, the menus did provide some...amusement.
For instance, did you know that when you order Triple Clown, you don't have 3 circus performers coming to your table to entertain you?
I know we've highlighted this gem over and again, but if I see "voila" spelled "wa la", or any other similar miscarriage of spelling, I'm going to clobber my computer with a baguette.
Most of the (beautifull) hard wood florrs in the City, were never finished. The were installed,yet they wer'nt combed. No finish, no stain, no SEALENT. Just left wide open to crack and wruaght.

I believe that is rot.
He who spells rot as wruaght, will spell cat and dog as cought and dought.

He wrote wraught when he should have written rot, right?
