Neither do I, and as a matter of fact, I think nothing will happen until after Valentine's day because in January there is still money to spend (all those people who got an amazon gift card for Xmas), and then you'll have the sweethearts presents. So the next thing will be Easter, which in some country in Europe is being celebrated with presents.

I have accidentally typed that more than once, and others have reported the same problem. And we all know that "shite" is a different color.

It is a poor choice of marketing term in more ways than one.
I did write papershite myself more than once
