This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"Matt" paste? Isn't it "matte" or am I taking crazy pills again?
Edit: What the fuck... It's spelled differently in the UK, the US, and Canada (where I'm from). It's matte in Canada, mat in US, and matt in the UK.

Pretty sure it's matte in the US, too
Seconded. Literally have never seen it spelled mat.
"Mat" is a small rug usually for wiping shoes on. "Matt" is a boy's name, short for Matthew. "Matte" means the opposite of glossy.
Mat is a man with no arms and no legs on the floor
In Swedish, mat is food
Colour me surprised, at least you greybeards have honour enough to spell some words correct.
'u' died with the Queen. Have yo no respect?
Shooldn't it be Qeen, or did "U" get berried with her?
I appreciate your cheekiness, sir
