On Sunday, November 2nd, Daylight Savings Time ended. Brief newspaper articles advised us to turn back our clocks. Some added that we should also:
A. Change the batteries in our smoke alarms.
B. Program our thermostat for heating.
C. Change our water filter.
A comment on a blog post by Patricia Saxton from 2011 titled Why bother to proofread? mentioned that a front-page headline in the Lake County News-Herald from Willoughby, Ohio instead advised their readers to:
"Turn Back Your Cocks Tonight"
That headline is an example where You All Know What I Really Meant, which I’ve given the long silly acronym of a YAKWIRM. Please proofread, and keep those naughty yakwirms away.
