I feel like going to Ruth’s Chris in their honor.

From the article:

the company will no longer serve meat at employee events or reimburse them for meals that include red meat, poultry and pork.

Closely read, that means the Cowboy Ribeye is reimbursable, since, although it includes red meat, it contains neither poultry nor pork, yet the company prohibition requires all three be present to fail reimbursability. Actually, a quick scan of Ruth's Chris's dinner menu turns up no selection which includes the required three, namely red meat, poultry, and pork.

I see the milliennial-looking author is a graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism. Apparently, they don't teach close reading (or precise writing) there anymore.

Good catch on the difference between the word AND and the word OR.

As far as I can tell, the ivy league schools no longer admit applicants based on academic merit, so being able to understand English is not a criterion for acceptance.

How do they feel about eating grasshoppers and mealworms?
