The Father of Molecular Gastronomy Whips Up a New Formula
An anonymous reader writes "French chemist and cook Hervé This maintains his quest to find the scientific precision behind great tasting food. Chef This is just one of a growing number of cooks that approaches food from a scientific perspective; making recipes in a lab instead of in the kitchen. The difference is that This was one of the pioneers of the field. 'This and a colleague, the late Oxford physicist Nicholas Kurti, conducted the experiments in their spare time. In 1988, the pair coined a term to describe their nascent field: molecular gastronomy. The name has since been applied to the kitchen wizardry of chefs like el Bulli's Ferran Adria and Alinea's Grant Achatz. But This is interested in basic culinary knowledge -- not flashy preparations -- and has continued to accumulate his precisions, which now number some 25,000.'"
Okay Slashdot, seriously, what the hell? The first couple of sentences don't even make sense, if you can even call them sentences. Where are the periods? Ugh, thanks Slashdot, for convincing me to get some sleep.
"Live as if you'll die tomorrow." Ridiculous. You could die later today.
I swear to God I'm going to start kicking random people in the balls in the middle of the street if people keep saying "queue ". It's "cue"! CUE the endless "Who's on first" routines!
Dear sir,
:p ...but seriously, you are right. The article made much more sense thant the short version of it.
As the fellow spelling nazi, I would like to let you know about a spelling error in your post. It should be "posting", not "psoting".
From now on, please do use the preview button before posting.

Just kidding mate.
As a superior spelling Nazi, I'd like to inform you that 'Nazi' should be capitalized.

As a typography Nazi, I'd like to point out that your choice of quotation mark is incorrect.
You should be using 'proper quotes' rather than 'fail quotes'.
I am not the ones being corrected, but in their behalf, as the "I'm tired of compulsive correctors" Nazi, I sentence you all to be executed for wasting our time with grammar correction posts. Life's too short to not allow for a few small errors in the communications of others once in a while. While compulsive correctness is valuable and desirable when writing code, normal human interaction requires tolerance and flexibility . If you have Asperger's Syndrome with grammar idiot savant specialty, you probably have a valuable role in your programming organization. But jeeze, all of you, cut others a break on fiddly small grammar errors. The world is imperfect. You cannot possibly make it perfect, and instead you make yourself endlessly intrusive.
Ok.

It's on the table over there. But damn you! :(
hehhe... I noticed that error the second I clicked "submit" and I was like "Do'h". My co-worker looked funny at me.

If you're in the middle of the street, how can you tell if they're saying 'queue' or 'cue'?
As a 'Meta Nazi' Nazi, I deem you to all be gay Jews and to be gassed at the morning of Friday, August 8. As Nazis, I expect you to demonstrate your loyalty to the party and perform the gassing yourselves.
hoho. I only decided to read the comments to see how quickly someone mentioned LArry Curly n Mo

If they say "This is a Maître Cue" instead of "This is a Maître Queux", the pronunciation is not the same.
However, we're back to the topic.
So you're a boat that is typically used for transporting goods, vehicles, and passengers across relatively short distances that has been pressed into service carrying magical paraphernalia for Hogwarts, I presume?
Perhaps you meant "The Spelling Faerie" or "The Spelling Fairy"?
