Constantly being asked if I'm okay! (does this happen to you?)
Crab counting - Bored at the beach?
High crab - crustaceans on crack
Low crab - crab in need of prozac
Crabs per 100g - smallest shellfish ever
Crabohydrate - wet crab

I need to learn to spell if this diabetes thing is gonna work for me

Then again. Better than carb lice, I reckon.

As an entomologist, I am very careful to write all my words correctly. Those typos hurt me.

Last time I saw "entomologist" on this forum it was someone (maybe you?) on about how insects are OK if they lose a foot but humans'd be screwed if they did. Now it's someone who types everything perfectly :? what is one, like an experimental zoologist english teacher?

That was a deliberate malaprop - an entomologist studies insects & an etymologist studies language. I am both.

A theology forum I contribute to had this:
Even Charles C. Ryrie mentioned the misleading influence that "literal" might have since people don't take the time to regurgitate what the proponents of a literal hermeneutic actually is.

The writer claims expertise in Greek, but his English is sadly lacking.
