Not Washed or Cooked, # 186

Mangle-eyed readers will have noticed that, ‘the festive season’ being upon us, the blog has already featured a couple of Christmas-based mangles, and for the next week or so will focus on the seasonal theme.

In 2012, we had fun with various manglings of Santa and Claus, while 2013 was mainly concerned with mangles in Christmas songs. (These are all available in the blog’s archive.) This year, there’s a single mangle, but presented in increasingly appalling settings.

Today‘s spelling mangle, from the website of the Mattapoisett Historical Society in Massachusetts, is supported by a failure-to-hyphenate —

— that makes it seem at first to be reporting on a reduction in those making items associated with the season.
