You Can Make a Lovely Hat

I was deleting messages from my Gmail account just now and when I was in the Trash folder, Google had these recycling tips and facts near the top of the page. You know, things like "Recycling a 3-foot-high stack of newspapers can save one whole tree."

That makes sense, but what I got was this one:

You can make a lovely hat out of aluminum foil.

I think Google's AI is going quite mad.

This is totally irrelevant... but I found out the correct pronunciation of Ikea from a Swedish friend recently (i believe you wrote something about it eons ago).

"I-kei-ya" and "ee-kei-ya" are both acceptable.

Yes, but not the typical local "ee-KIAH".
