Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wait is this a thing? Do Americans legitimately call it “togo”? I came in here to find out what sort of food togo was.

No, we do not. We do say "to go" however. OP probably accidentally missed a space.

People mess this one up alot.

It's weird how culturally ubiquitous some common smartphone typos become

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

No. Normal people write "to go".

british ex pat in America. I have said "to take away" and been met with blank looks, until I corrected to "to go"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think "take away" is valid too. "To take away" just sounds odd.

Also "carry out"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

American. Can confirm. Highly regarded people are everywhere.

I believe the yelp app uses take out, which sounds right.
