Being the great language geek that I am, after editing (and tracking changes in Word) my brother's thesis, I started browsing the fat orange book's website.
I found myself getting really into the Q & A section. In fact, this exchange made me laugh out loud:
Q. The menu in our cafeteria shows that enchiladas are available “Tues.–Fri.” However, when I ordered one on a Wednesday, I was informed that enchiladas are available on Tuesday AND Friday, not Tuesday THROUGH Friday. When I informed the cafeteria manager that this was incorrect, she seemed shocked and refused to change the sign. Please help determine who is correct!
A. Although the sign was incorrect, I’m not sure you should annoy the person who provides the enchiladas.
Indeed.
Oh maaaaaan! Now I want an Enchiladas!!!

Well, it should be a comma and no dash, but still...

Indeed!! I know for a fact that annoying the man with the enchiladas can be hazardous. I once watched a cook flip a chef's knife at a customer during the frustrating evening he was having.

deep Enchilada wisdom - like: who will bite the hand of who feeds him - but on the other hand: - she would really sell a lot more Enchiladas if she would sell 'em Tuesday to Friday..
