    Haha. I love when “professionals” fail! Great new site, btw :)

    I’m not as worried by the professionals failing, as that is spelled correctly. I’m more worried when the laboratories the professionals base their decisions upon fail.

    eh. Can’t get too excited about this one. They’re laboratory professionals, not cake-decorating professionals, and it’s obviously a non-professional job. Let them eat their cake.

    You guys do know it is the word “laboratory” that is spelled wrong, right?

    Comment fail X3

    Re Gary: So that’s what the problem was. I was looking at it and couldn’t figure it out.

    Gary:
    When you make assumptions about people, especially negative ones, you’re on thin ice. I intentionally used the word “laboratory” in my comment to make sure it was obvious I recognized the error; I (making an assumption, albeit positive) believe Barry did the same. Despite the use of quotes around laboratory, it didn’t seem to me that Hiro didn’t misconstrue anything either.

    To (liberally and tortuously) paraphrase an old aphorism, it is better to remain silent and think others are fools than to press “submit” and remove all doubt about oneself.

    Metacomment fail × 1

    Before someone jumps on me, a self-edit [last sentence, first paragraph]: “didn’t seem” should be “seemed”.

    The cake came from Wal-Mart, so technically it was a professional job. I use professional pretty loosely though, considering the example presented here would make a real cake decorator foam at the mouth.

    When we took the cover off and read the cake, we all hooted with laughter at the obvious misspelling. Then we cut out an ad for a bra and taped it next to the cake to see if anyone else would notice our new professional title. :)
