Comment on foil

  That’s a separate issue. Some are concerned that Y’all is spelled Ya’ll, but you’re concerned about the quotes.

  That’s to alert the right people to the open foil. The writer knows who they’re addressing, and the right people reading it understand. It’s kind of a “If You know, You know” sort of situation.

  Someone like my mom would think the store was being considerate, leaving a sample roll to inspect the quality, like when you check out the eggs.

  She doesn’t know it’s to keep the tweakers from stealing the corner of every piece of foil in the store. Honestly, she doesn’t even know what tweakers are.

  Wow, your English is pretty good for a Canadian. Did you go to international school or did you grow up in the rough part of Canada?

  Damn dude, I didn’t think I was rude at all to you. Just thought you didn’t understand the word and offered a judgment free explanation. Fuck me for trying to be nice I guess.
