Language grumping

From the Mercury News this morning: "Senate panel demands Meirs expand on White House work." No, the word you're looking for is expound.

Also, I love the Milk Pail Market. Really, I do. They sell good produce and great cheeses and garlic you don't have to peel and they don't charge an arm and a leg for it. But can you spot what's wrong with the following? "Open daily 8:30 am - 8 pm (Sat 7 pm / Sun 6 pm)"

Yes, I thought you could.

Actually, I think they meant "expand". She gave them some information on their questionnare but they said it was incomplete and insufficient.
