The word "bowel" has no place in the Food Database

I'm not nagging or whining. I'm not even one of those people who bang on about others who use "their/they're/there" incorrectly (although I do inwardly wince). However, for the sake of who use the database to log food..... I am begging, pleading and IMPLORING: please, when you enter foods in the database, make sure you spell the items correctly to make it easier on the rest of us. If you're not a great speller and/or in a hurry...then just opt out of adding it to the database for public use.

I don't care who did this (although I'm sure someone's high school English teacher is rolling in his or her grave). It's not necessary to run spell-check but...[throws hands up helplessly] how can so many words be misspelled, one of which is "bowl". If it was just one word misspelled, I wouldn't even be posting this.

I don't know about anyone else, but there oughtn't to be any mention of "bowel" in a food listing.

[And for you wiseacres, I'm already prepared for the onslaught of Chipotle/bowel jokes. Bring it on! :laugh: ]

Cheers!

    I KNOW! :laugh: That is far more likely to have been mispelled--I thought the same thing.

    Usually the bowel doesn't get me until after I eat chipotle.

    Of course Chipotle and bowel would be in the same sentence!

    Misspellings annoy the Hell out of me, but the worse part is when the nutritional information for the item is COMPLETELY wrong! I notice these thing and fix them for my diary, but most people on here wouldn't know it was wrong and are logging their intake incorrectly because of it.

    Last time I ate bowels... I called them Chitterlings.... That being said, the last 2 times I ate such delicacies, I broke out in hives and my throat started to close up so thinking about the old 3 strikes and your out rule, I no longer partake therein. (I would have stopped the first time but I did not relate the experience to the Chitterlings and my throat did not swell that time... the second time... I realized it was the common denominator and ... well, breathing is healthier than not breathing so no more bowels for me....

    As another aside... I do sometimes put things in the database for me... I have a particular sandwich that I have at subway.. It includes a mispelling of my last name so that all I have to do is type that word and it pops up... Something tells me, that is NOT what was going on here.
