Well so was my comment. I was going to add that I had got used to "color". ;-)

One of the pitfalls of writing on language is that several proof-reads are required. Such as this post of mine http://goo.gl/GEQX9

On topic, good point re varietal / Variety. I was about to write on it until I saw your year-old post. Timing is everything.

Warren – Well, the whole sentence is facetious… the whole article, in way, as well… or is humor (or humour) officially dead in the UK now? :)

Re: the sentence: "Just go ahead an use varietal any damn way that you want. See if I care. I give up, I tell ya!"

Maybe I could get used to "varietal" instead of "variety".

And maybe even "ya" instead of "you".

But it will be a while before I get comfortable with "an" as an acceptable abbreviation of "and".
