    I had a dentist appointment this morning, and saw this on the cover of Time Magazine for March 15th. Notice the spelling of "desserts" in the upper right corner:

    You would think a major magazine like Time would have better editors....

    Actually, it's not a typo. She's being sent to Iraq for reform.

    You must not be in the spelling contest. ;)

    "Deserts" is right, since it's derived from "deserve." As in "Martha's getting what she deserves." From m-w.com:

    Main Entry: <sup>3</sup>de·sert
    Pronunciation: di-'z&rt
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Middle English deserte, from Old French, from feminine of desert, past participle of deservir to deserve
    1 : the quality or fact of deserving reward or punishment
    2 : deserved reward or punishment -- usually used in plural &lt;got their just deserts&gt;
    3 : EXCELLENCE, WORTH

    Just a random fact I picked up somewhere that I felt like sharing. (It's more interesting than UConn-GT right now....)

    Quit being so technical on me! I would have thought they were trying for a play on words with "desserts", because of her cooking. But nooooo, you have to go and be all "right" about it....

    :D :D
