what's next, accept vs. except?

just a few words of wisdom for mlb pitchers out there (although i'm pretty sure none of them have or will ever read my blog):

the verb "to beat" is spelled b-e-a-t. not b-e-e-t. beat means to pummel, to defeat, to mush. like what the a's somewhat did to the rangers today. beets are red root vegetables that make me deathly ill. trust me. i will not bake you cookies with beets. (i will also not include beet leaves in my salad, and i avoid beet sugar at all costs.) but i did beat the butter with the sugar, flour, and vanilla to make those oh-so-tasty ranger cookies. so note to jay witasick: get a dictionary, and don't correct my spelling.
