Oddly, my wife doesn't like ice cream. I've never really understood this.

Is there such a thing as too much ice cream??
Yes. More than a spoonful.
(severe pain will make it so.)
Sometimes I miss it. Mostly not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No need to understand. Accept it, eat her share and move on.
Word says the following is a sentence fragment: "Cans have numerous disadvantages as packaging forms."
It looks like a sentence to me. Am I on crack or is Microsoft?

It's probably not sure what's a verb and what isn't.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Microsoft notoriously can't parse homonyms. Also, it stumbles on complex sentence structures, like nested dependent clauses. Not that I have any incredibly irritating experience with that.

I figure if I can't tell pretty quickly, I'm okay ignoring the Word squiggles. As long as the software doesn't disable my print function.
My last wine glasses were so ugly that I accidentally threw them in the trash when I moved a few months ago. I can't work out what was wrong with them exactly (other than heft -- I know they lacked proper heft), so it's making it hard to web-shop replacements. Cutlery and dishes, I have elaborate rules for, but so far good/bad with wine glasses is like erotica/porn.
I mean these look great, but they also look like every other wine glass. These sound like the kevlar of wine glasses -- what are the technical considerations when shopping for glassware?

These are actually two different things, as it turns out. Okay, maybe you already knew this. I didn't, until recently, and thought maybe I had remember something wrong. Sherbet seems to have milk in it.

If I knock one off the table, will I be able to go out and buy a single relacement glass?
Truth be told, the majority of my wineglasses are currently from wine festivals so have things like words and frogs on them. I do have 4 czech-glass large red wineglasses I found back in the day Pier One bought from there. They were identical to some I adored in the CzR, but knew they wouldn't survive the trip back.
I don't use them much, what with them being so large and me not drinking much red wine these days.
