Hey, my computer's working again! How is everyone? In case nobody read my blog entry, here are my latest suggestions.

We could have a “Just Deserts” category. Before you say it should be spelled “Just Desserts”, I thank you, but I found out from Snopes.com and the dictionary that that’s not the case. It’s true that the word “desert”, as in “the Sahara Desert”, is spelled with one S and is pronounced “dez-urt” while the word “dessert”, meaning a dish such as strawberry shortcake, is spelled with two S’s and is pronounced “dee-cert”. However, just like the verb “to desert”, meaning “to abandon” or “to leave one’s post without permission”, the term “desert”, meaning “deserved reward or punishment”, is spelled with one S, but pronounced the same as “dessert”. This means that the phrase is often misspelled as “just desserts”, but its proper spelling is “just deserts”. The more you know. Of course, you could call it something like “Karma” or “Payback” instead, if you decided you wanted such a category. Also, how about a “Relationships” category? This could be a replacement for the “People” category.Raidra (talk) 18:07, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
