  1. Underlining the word please makes it seem like they are pleading.

  2. That’s one friggin’ delicious pie!

  3. Taking the opposing position, “Homemade Blueberry Pie” may be a trade name, so upper case would be correct.

    Google “frig”. You’ll find a bunch of ads for refrigerators, although some ads spell it “Refridgerator”. It appears that some part of this wonderful country probably calls it a frig.

    However, if you look “frig” up in the dictionary you’ll find a definition that hopefully has nothing to do with where that blueberry pie has been!

    This site is great! I’ve recommended it to 20 people already.

  6. I think this note is legal. People should be able to jot down a short note like this.

  7. Come on now, they’re offering free pie.

  8. This is an informal note (probably to a family member) so it is hardly expected to live up to the same standard as a billboard (and other items that are for public consumption).

    I think capitalizing Homemade Blueberry Pie is perfectly okay. It is a proper noun (the name of something), why shouldn’t it be capitalized?

    Also, “fridge” is slang as far as I can tell so spelling a word, that is already slang, different hardly seems like a mistake.

    Didn’t like this one, rated it 1.

  9. I don’t care how they spelled it. I want some pie. There is a total lack of notes on my “frig” offerening home baked pastries.

  10. Normally, I would never call anyone out on a comment. However, Macy is my boss and I happen to know for a fact that she has an MA in English Literature…do you see where this is going? “Offerening”? Even the best of us is fallible. Let me just say for the record, I LOVE MY BOSS and want to keep working for her. And I will be making pie for her by tomorrow, no doubt. I am not too proud to suck up, the economy being what it is at present.
