My Fifteen Minutes of Faim

My mushroom post made it onto the WordPress front page yesterday – bringing a nice spike in my stats and with any luck some new readers who will stick around (hello!). And also exposed to the whole world the fact that I consistently and repeatedly can’t bloody spell ‘chanterelles’. I blame Google, naturally, because half the internet can’t spell chanterelles either so it didn’t did-you-mean me when I searched under the wrong spelling. But then half the internet can’t consistently put an apostrophe in the correct place so that’s no excuse. And as someone who pedantically punctuates her text messages I really should know better.

I’d go back and correct it but it’s too late – the damage is done. I’m leaving it up there in all its misspelt glory as a reminder to myself that the spell-checker in my toolbar is not there for decoration. And I did at least manage to identify them correctly, even if I couldn’t spell them…
