Eaches? [Yet another TMobile WTF]
-
Continuing with the series on T-Mobile WTFs, I've just read my delivery note on a recent purchase from them.
Not exactly a coding WTF, but... bah!

Obviously they cut the printed text off at the wrong point and you are really going to receive 1 Peaches.
But yeah, not bothering to differentiate between singular and plural is annoying
-
Someone even wrote a book about thems
-
It's not that they're not differentiating between singular and plural - there is no plural of "each"...
-
It'll be to do with the distribution - eaches are items picked singly for despatch.

Well is it a WTF that I actually learn something from reading TDWTF?
This is the first time that I have ever seen the term "Eaches", and while it may be a valid term in its domain I would posit that it is not a generally known term in the general populace so that a different text description should have been used ("ea." ??)

[url]http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/each[/url] disagrees with you.
But you are correct in saying that more trusted English dictionaries, such as Oxford (or Merriam-Webster if you're a Colonial), do not give a plural for 'each.'

Would this be the dictionary that 'anyone can edit'? It even disagrees with itself: <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=each&oldid=7479335"target="_blank" title="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/each">http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/each[citation]

I like that idea, but I hate vuvuzelas.
It's disconcerting.

I like that idea even morer.

I listened to the top 5 or 6 and some of them sounded pretty good to me. Can't stand the vuvuzela in the world Cup, but I can applaud the creativity of the DJs

Yeah. That latest electro house one wins it for me. The dubstep one is pretty damned funny too and the 'Vuvuzelacore' for sheer annoyingness.
They make a horrible noise but its amazingly easy to feed them into a sampler, add a few filters and get something useable out of them.

I've just received another one. Even more confusing:
I also like how the quantity is a floating point number.
"Hi, I'd like to order 1.35 of your latest Android-based phone please. "

Yes this is very confusing. Unit of Measue = "Floor".
You bought 1.00 Floor from T-Mobile?

No, that would be odd. He bought 1.00 floor of something.

It's a good thing it's only 30 minutes before quittin' time here... my colleagues tend to grow concerned when I start laughing uncontrollably at times.

It seemed more plausible than a sticker with some odd squiggly stuff on it.

Does your track sing a URL out loud? My god, you could be tormenting neighbours around the world. It should have a URL sung out loud. Are you in advertising?
