But don't actually label the fucking product "yams" when it's actually sweet potatoes.

What this tells me is that you don't even know what it is that you're selling.

..yea, mislabeled names, massive pet peeve.

Yams are not commercially available in the US.

Right up there with calling chamomile tea "homeopathic." Who the hell is the target audience for that kind of crap? ..Well, given the current situation,

I guess that as a group, we're all just that damned stupid.

why are yams not available in the states O_o

plenty of people have bought into the homeopathic crap... it drives me insane

Speaking of mislabeling, homeopathic means 'treating the whole person and not just the problem'. I used to go to a homeopathic obgyn.

Yam (vegetable) - Wikipedia sweet potatoes are not hams.

Faerycat, you're thinking "holistic", not "homeopathic." "Homeopathic" is about magic water.

Herbal stuff is also not homeopathic. Yes, plants have compounds that do things. That's not homeopathy.

Oh... not a huge surprise, in grade school I made my mom giggle because I told her I needed the circumcision of a circle.

LMAO... like those "grade school test mistakes" where one of them is a kid writing "the universe is a giant orgasm"

(don't read that if you have anything in your mouth that could come out your nose..)

I've always had problems swapping words, and my mom and I are both at least mildly dyslexic. Unless I'm really upset, I proofread everything I type.

That works for you. It doesn't work for Amazon Fresh listing their sweet potatoes as yams. Or their herbal remedies as "homeopathic," for that matter.

(although I think they fixed the latter since the last time I bitched [on Plurk] about it.)

And yea, it's a pretty common mistake, that has been going on for a long time, and may be helpful to say "yam" when you mean "sweet potato" just so people understand...

But.. putting it in the title?! They could just put it in the keywords. Or say "Sweet potatoes (Yams)" ... or anything that acknowledges that they're using the term with some understanding..

it

It's amazon, for crying out loud!
