My pet 'hat' is the omission or misuse of apostrophes ;)
"[It's] my pet hat when [it's] used.the [Queen's] English."
We all have our pet 'hats'.

Mold.Middle English molde, from Old French modle, molle, from Latin modulus, diminutive of modus, measure; see med- in Indo-European roots
But hey.whatever floats your boat.

Do you have anything at all to say about shortbread!That's what this thread is about.
Or do you just have a mould/mold fetish!
It's safe to come back to NZ, lost-in-oz.All is forgiven - unless they stop you at the border ;)

Hi there haven't read through all the posts but over the years I've bought several different types of wooden shortbread moulds from the local Scottish shop in Dunedin.Hope you can find some, they make your shortbread look awesome!

Well I personally think that someone should invent a whole new way of spelling mould/mold because it is one work that always confuses me.When I was growing up mould was the ONLY way to spell it and it stood for both the shapey thingy and the growing stuff. I have no idea why it had to become so confusing.

Back to spelling:- Concise Oxford doesn't even mention 'mold', Collins and Chambers both give 'mould' with " (US mold)" for both meaningspattern or fungus.Main heading "mold" says'see "mould" '.I haven't got a NZ or Oz dictionary.Now I hope I haven't made a mistake in apostrophes or spelling!
