Our oven at work is hardly up to the job of cooking anything, BUT, I feel that investing in a Bessemer Converter to do the job may be overkill.

Ha ha! But out of interest, what was the word supposed to be?

I guess at "quicker" - but I'm struggling to think of a more comic alternative.

Could it of been "Cheaper", but the foundry worker was thinking of the bakers at the time?

It actually took me a few reads because I was looking for a typo or grammatical error! Then I thought there was maybe another meaning for quiche... one that I didn't know.

 

[Paulus]

So I should of said "more cheaply"?

I don't know. I remember getting my knuckles rapped at school for using quicker as an adverb. It had to be "more quickly".

True enough for the strict grammar adherents. Languages change though and, if I remember correctly, in German the adverb/adjective difference has all but disappeared; 'schnell', for instance, is both adjective and adverb. It'll go in English too in time.

splitting the guys name onto tow lines just looks stupid and disrupts the ability to read it easily
