HA I was thinking they would have spelt that “OH THE IRUNY” or something like that

Btw, is it just me or does “danegr” roll off the tongue really nicely?

Especially if WordPad or NotePad was used, instead of MS-Word, heh-heh….

True English majors don’t need to use the auto checking in Word. The red and green lines only detract from the creative process.

That’s how you get words like “Danegr”.

Clip Art of the Pope or something would have also earned bonus points.

(is it supposed to be The Pope? the pope? Some Pope?)

Sadly, something like this would be the highlight of my week.

I know how to spell Cincinnati thanks, in no small part, to Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore.

A wicky sticket, FeRD? “Not such a draw a long bow” wouldnae worked.

And you draw (back) the bow, dude (or the string of the bow, I’m guessing – etymology will probably prove me wrong). I don’t really do dude talk, but I’m feeling kinda lazy.

Pluck yew – see where google leads you (yew?)

“Not such a long bow to draw“?

OK, sure, “draw a long bow” is an established (if not all that common) expression. But when you scramble it all around like that… well, that’s quite the sticky wicket!

I was looking at chairs at the Ikea website the past few days and when I saw the title, I was surprised that a chair had been recalled. So I googled this infamous Ikea Danegr chair…

The google suggestion let me in on the joke.

I love how your description above the picture sounds like something Adrian Mole would write

I feel obligated to mention that the website’s tag for “Cincinatti” is misspelled. We spell the city Cincinnati. Thank goodness I’m not part of the English department!
