I searched for "summer" and the results were very good, for the most part, all outside in the summer time. Then I came across this, gimme a break





OOOPS!!!

****blushes ashamedly****

Well, I expected that I had something that was a miss - and have corrected others in the past. Don't know what I was thinking!

MY BAD!!! It's fixed! As is its' mate.

I guess the previous phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" applies here!

I'll be going away now.....

Hey Riffmax, you've been Riffmaxed.

It occurred to me a while back that someone posting here would eventually be called out themselves. It was only a matter of time. Don't feel bad, beans are a summer cookout item, to me anyway.

That could be what I was thinking. I dunno. Probably a little too much wine when I was keying those two!

Maybe the intent was "simmer", which would make sense (and a possible typo, since the "u" key is right next to the "i")

This has been a fun thread! All the same, reading between the lines, it just goes to show that not all "bad" keywording is the result of deliberate attempts at spamming. So far, some of the causes have been:

Typos
Mis-identification of objects (is that really a word?)
Problems with translation from other languages
Idiosyncracies in the upload/keywording system
Overwork/late nights/overindulgence

Personally, I don't think I can ever be so critical in the future of other peoples' keywords.

Anyway, somebody (on another site) found and downloaded this image of mine after running a search for "corn field" - go figure!

That might be a true translation mistake, in (continental?) Spanish "Pascua" is used for both, so you can wish somebody "Felices Pascuas" and it can mean either "Happy Christmas" or "Happy Easter" ;-) SY
