    mm I woot!

    Cheese Christmas advent calendar has a slither of your favourite CHEESE behind each window | Daily Mail Online

    Forget chocolate! The advent calendar that has a piece of your favourite CHEESE behind every window (and here's how you can get one)
    Blogger Annem Hobson, 27, has created UK's first cheese advent calendar
    Londoner used gouda, goat's cheese, and blue Stilton in her festive box
    They're not for sale but she hopes to sell them in 2017 if there's a demand
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    I see the Mail Online now regard their readers with such absolute contempt that they don't even bother employing a sub-editor, who could have pointed out to the unpaid intern churning out this crap that "slither" and "sliver" are not the same word

            They don't have to be mutually exclusive. Cheese & Port then on to the Gin.

              Nothing to do with diction in this case: it's illiterate.

              slither
              verb [ I usually + adv/prep ] UK ​ /ˈslɪð.ər/ US ​ /ˈslɪð.ɚ/

              (of bodies) to move easily and quickly across a surface while twisting or curving:
              She watched the snake slither away.


              sliver
              noun [ C ] UK ​ /ˈslɪv.ər/ US ​ /ˈslɪv.ɚ/ formal

              a very small, thin piece of something, usually broken off something larger:
              a sliver of glass
              Just a sliver of cake for me, please - I shouldn't really be having any.

                  Hmm

                  unable to read or write.
                  versus
                  the choice and use of words and phrases in speech or writing.

                  I prefer my choice of words.

                  You could of gone with incompetence or carelessness but its clear the Wail can read & write though possibly not very well.

                    Would take quite a bit of space in the fridge for what it is.
