All is not lost: someone used 'peddling' correctly… and did so with a touch of humour!

Another peeve is "its" vs. "it's." Even "professional" bloggers and my Android phone's autocorrect screw that one up frequently.
ITS is possessive, IT'S is a contraction of IT IS / IT HAS.
And use more paragraph breaks, people! The older I get, the harder it becomes to follow 20+ line paragraphs, even without run-on sentences and frequent misspellings.

Lesson time, then. Why the difference pronouncing the "a" in "cat", "car", and "call"?

I admit I get very sloppy about reviewing posts before hitting enter. Some misteaks are just a lack of consurn. Typing on an iPhone adds to the mix. (Mess?) But for some reason peddle just jumps off the screen!

We know you were making a joke when you typed consurn fro concern. You had to be. The bot would have shot you down.

Bad grammar can be deadly!
"Let's eat, grandma..."
"Let's eat grandma..."
"Let's eat, grandma..."
"Let's eat grandma..."
