The bloggers have no style manual. They don’t know for instance that educated pressies use the incorrect word cement when the correct english word is concrete

Good point; my dad showed me the difference one year purely by accident; he had bought about a dozen bags of cement to use in making steps from the house to the street and we left them on the grass next to where we had dug out for the forms.

That night it began to rain and didn’t let up until the next evening.

When we went to open the first bag it was rock hard.
