Gah!

I appear to be feeling particularly ranty this morning, and the headache that's trying to happen isn't helping.

Grammar and spelling manglings are some of my pet peeves.

"Loose" is what you get when something isn't tight.

"Lose" is what happens when you don't win.

Bated breath, not "baited" (unless, I suppose, you've been eating small fish).

Free rein. Think horsies.

"Sight" is vision. "Site" is a place. "Cite" is a citation.

"They're" is the contraction for "They are". "Their" is the possessive form of they. "There" is a location.

Sigh.

Mush!

Or very nearly. If you pressure-cook chick peas enough, they go mushy. Which is not inherently a bad thing, but it does mean that they are less useful for preparations that assume chick peas with standard structural integrity.

OTOH, it still gives me vast quantities of chick pea-age to tuck away in the freezer after they've cooled.

And now, off to study for my forensics exam tomorrow.
