Talk:Nightcap (garment)
→Merge with Nightcap (headgear): Example: fixed typo; expanded content. Also, in what felt like two additional saves over the course of about a half hour (incredibly awkward use interface and obsessive-compulsive editor/admi!), but may show in the edit history as a single edit ending 4 minutes after the hour -- in the middle of my night.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

The presumably discredited practice of embedding commas within items on a supposedly comma-delimited list is little ameliorated by bolding the individual items. I've instead converted the list to delimitation by bullets. (Shall we say, "shooting up the joiint"? Well, mebbe not.) A minor issue, but I think not a mere distraction from our work.Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Suet
→Vegetarian alternative: Removed "resembles shredded beef suet, and", which is relevant only to cooks who might feel guilty if they were reduced to using a raw ingredient that looks ''to the cook'' like something inauthentic! (Well, wait a minit. Maybe the colleague wanted us to know what is more relevant, that the cook can prepare a dish that will deceive the diner.... OK; if so, let them own that intent instead of insinuating that omnivory is in some sense an immoral choice.)Tags: Mobile editMobile web edit

Suet
