184 - Limescale


It's fair enough to abbreviate items on a list - there's no rule to say you can't. But simply missing off words when they add specific detail is just plain ridiculous. I don't know anyone who would want to buy "limescale". Limescale cleaner, yes, but actually buy limescale?

'Hey darling, our kettle works a bit too well for my liking. Please can you buy some limescale next time you go shopping, just to clog things up a bit?'

I don't think so.
