Chip2447-I just noticed I used the wrong numbers for your name..I'd blame it on that sequential number jones I got [I typed "3447" instead of "2447"] but then to really fit that pattern you'd have to be "2442" or "2445" or "2427" or "2424" or...well, you get my drift...

Anyway, I'm to blame for my carelessness. I'm sorry about that.
[I would say "My bad" which means "I did wrong {bad}, please forgive me." but you might not know what the heck "My bad" means.
And for the record, let me say that I consider "My bad" and other colloquial expression to be inappropriate for use in formal settings. But this isn't a formal setting, right?]

Not that this has anything to do with the price of beans, unless beans cost $1.99 or some other number ending in 99 cents....

It just occurs to me that the fact that most items for sale cost something ending with 99 cents must mean something...What I don't know. Maybe if I read that link I provided, I'd find out.

'Catters and Guests from outside the Untied States: are items routinely priced at a dollar amount plus 99 cents in your country as they seem to be in the United States?
