something new every day

From TWoP:

"Stacie herself interviews that she feels like she's in a position of having to reclaim her reputation after the way she was fired. You know, in rescuing your good name, it's considered a good start not to wear a vest made from Wookiee fur. Furthermore, can someone tell the captioning people that seriously, there is no such word as "restauranteur"? There really isn't. It has a red squiggly line under it right now in Word. That's not a thing, I promise. It may be counterintuitive, but it's "restaurateur," and you can find that out by using a dictionary, which is that big book on your shelf with the never-cracked binding between your copies of The Bridges Of Madison County and Who Moved My Cheese? (Although really, they're kind of getting what they deserve by referring to a Subway owner as a "restaurateur" in the first place.)"

Must confess, never knew that.
