It's "just deserts." I had no freaking idea about that till this weekend. I bet that's wrong about 90% of the time in print. I always see it as "just desserts." But apparently it's so.

Listen, all I know is I want dessert. I don't care about that other fellow, but me? I want my pudding pop!

I'm trying my damnedest to make some sort of pudding pop innuendo, but it's 5 p.m. and I need caffeine. :\

F'real! I felt like such an ass when I read that. I just hope I've never changed that in anything!

Well, thank you for clearing that up for us. I still think it's STOOPID. Perhaps it is one of those UK things? They never could spell or pronounce anything properly.

There's no such thing as "just desserts." There are bad desserts, and good desserts, but.

I once worked at a place called Capitol Newsstand, because it was right across from the state capitol. I can't tell you how many people told us our sign was misspelled. Case in point.
