Disappointed by Fortune Cookie Grammar Again
[begin rant]
I'm guessing absolutely no one proof reads fortune cookie messages anymore before they are printed out a thousand times. Either that or the computer that spits them out has a lame sense of humor.
"Your luck has been completely changed tobay."
The way the "fortune" is surrounded by smiley faces emphasizes the fact that you're really not supposed to take whatever this says seriously. And this isn't even a real fortune; it is a statement. Since when did statements become suitable substitutions for actual fortunes and prophecies that are supposed to be embedded in these yummy cookie things?

Ahh but I think 'tobay' may hold some prophecy for is it a noun or an adjective? Is it a a name granted to the chosen one or a euphemism for something...or whatever...?
