The New Yorker – The Accurate Cover

Karin Kallmaker 10/06/2012 LIFE + STYLE

Random Trivial Things

  • Trivia: Time and Language
    When Karin wrote both Roller Coaster and Car Pool, the spelling of both phrases was as titled - two separate words. Time passes. Karin feels it is completely inappropriate that both are now one word: rollercoaster and carpool. Eww.
