There is a reason that Technical Writers exist!
In the lunch room where I work there is a ping-pong
table with this cautionary note on it, neatly typed up
and printed by an engineer:
Please do
not put
food, drink,
but, and the
other thing
on the table
One can assume they meant to include a second "t"
on "but," but how to explain "the other thing?"
Feeling vindicated,
