Would someone please, please, please let the headline writers at Slate know that "gourmand" is NOT a synonym for gourmet? Gourmand is a synonym for "glutton," as we all, well, except for Slate, learned in high school.

Thanks, tgideon. I'm glad I'm not the only one who cringed at that.

Can't talk now: it's too noisome around here.

(Lightning = lightning bug.)

you beat me to it! good job.
