For my Introduction to Linguistics course, I provided links to a couple of different kinds of text to compare and contrast, viz. step-by-step instructions for telling one's Mac to always display scrollbars in a Web browser and one of my Mom's recipes. The recipe is stored in Evernote, so I just created a public share link to that note, which is a long, hairy beast of a URL (c'mon Evernote, make your own short links!) and the reason why I used the goo.gl Url shortening service. Well, last night one of my students clicked the link to the recipe and this is what they saw:

I think it's really funny that they blocked my Mom's recipe and tagged it as "violating our Terms of Service." Admittedly, I am one of the millions (100's of millions??) that never read the terms of service, so maybe there is a clause in there about not using the service to post one's Mom's recipes. Maybe it's because the title of the recipe has "maid rites" in it (the name of a franchise and a loose-meat hamburger sandwich), but I can tell you that around the parts from which I came, what many people call "sloppy-joes" or "manwiches," and the like, were called "maid-rites" (akin to calling tissues "Kleenexes"). I don't know. I just laughed and gave the students the long, hairy beast of a URL. :)

The recipe? Here it is for your eating pleasure (with a little redaction): https://www.evernote.com/shard/s6/sh/ee024049-1f6b-4e14-8b78-28a82b635cec/71e0661252764a46.
