Re the double cleanup,
Years ago, in a moment of inspiration, my dad instituted a policy of ‘the cook doesn’t do the dishes’. It was so fair that no one could complain, and it worked out well later when my sister and I spent the summers doing the dinner cooking. (my dad knew a guy in college who spent four years eating spaghetti and hamburgers, because that was all he knew how to make. So he made sure my sister and I knew how to cook before leaving home.)
Oh I do so hate that typo comment. The same happens with podiobooks flubs ‘if this was a professionally produced audio book like those on audible’ and independently made film ‘if this had been made by proper filmmakers they would have…’
it’s quite interesting how some creative works are regarded as less real, official and of undoubted lower quality just because they don’t have a big name publisher or production company selling them. I do remember a book I read where the author was outraged at the very idea of publishing works on the internet ‘why, who would tell the public what was good and what wasn’t?!?’
