Beth S Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I think the WTM Press sends out weekly emails. I've attached a screenshot. The subject line was "Last Day to Save 40%" I just happened to read the last item on their list: The Foolproof Guide to Getting Your Children Not to Leave Dirty Dishes in Their Rooms When I clicked on it, it linked to Wikipedia's entry on "Utopia". So true. Such a wonderful way to make me laugh this morning. 😀😀😀 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 That was amusing! Thanks for passing it along, Beth. Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Do you ever read the fine print? That always makes me smile. Here is the one from the grammar email: Nit-picky language our Lawyer asked us to include: This special offer cannot be combined with other special offers, promotions, coupons, discount codes, or Bitcoins, nor can it be traded for spices from the mysterious East. ..<snip>.. Every time someone uses it's as a possessive, a star falls from the night sky and lands on a baby seal. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only hesitation was that WTM should actually be speaking in terms of the death of kittens, since that is the standard we hold here. But baby seals are sad too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to explain this to my cellphone’s autocorrect and word prediction! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same issue with my phone and it's annoying me greatly. If the spellchecker is too dumb to know grammar, eliminate the whole thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2scouts Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I just saw that email and was coming here to post about it. I wanted to complain about not being able to buy multiple copies of the book for all the moms I know. I've learned to always read the fine print because there's usually something funny. What a great way to get people to read your advertising emails! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Yes I love reading the fine orint i missed that one though our library now allows you to check out books in pirate language. My kids think it’s totally hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure would like the Foolproof Guide to not leaving dirty dishes...! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
