Re: A year's worth of food
Going rather OT but having just finished my teacher training I was amazed at the poor language skills of some of these youngsters who will be teaching the .........well, youngsters!
For example, saying 'free' instead of 'three'. As we teach the children to phontically spell words how on earth can we expect them to say and spell things correctly if the teachers are not even saying it right!
(getting off my soap box now- I could go on..)

The big guy off the quiz show "The Chaser" always says free instead of three and it bugs the hell out of me.
But not as much as people who say "Put the keckle on". ARGHHHHH

The mother of an ex of mine used to call papadums 'pompadoms'. I could have smashed her face in. Probably not just because of 'pompadomgate', but that was as good a reason as any. I think she said 'keckle' too, now I come to think about it.
I didn't like her so much.

Re: A year's worth of food
Unfortunately, where I live, the word Keckle is heard more often than I would like.
By the way, if anyone does not know what a Keckle is, it is not to be confused with a "Bockle of pop" which is made of plastic and most definately not made of "Meckle".
When I talk to these people I can actually feel my IQ dropping.
