About four years ago I saw an article in Time about DVDs. Except that the incompetent journalist stated that DVDs stood for Digital Audio Discs. I wonder where he came up with that one.
I also hate it when people write 'compact disk' when 'compact disc' looks much better.
Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball. Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. Happy Fun Ball Contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete.
Discontinue use of Happy Fun Ball if any of the following occurs: Itching Vertigo Dizziness Tingling in extremities Loss of balance or coordination Slurred speech Temporary blindness Profuse sweating Heart palpitations
