electric hand dryers


Have you ever been able to fully dry your hands on one of these using only one push of the button? I'm going to start a petition requiring that manufacturers extend the time of one dry cycle by about 3-5 seconds.. that's all we need right? Who's with me? I know, I know, you're thinking "why not just push it again?" I'll tell you why--because I don't need the additional 20 seconds. Those just end up being wasted.

spacebetween


I was editing a document not too long ago and I found it a little odd to come upon this sentence:

There was a spacebetween us.


I had to transcribe the edit in an email: "please insert a space between space and between."

Pretty weird, no?
