Gérard, I might be wrong but read that
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/eating-certain-foods-can-help-you-deal-better-with-stress/article16636096/

Sugar, sweets, caffeine and alcohol were among a list of foods found to exacerbate stress while fruit, vegetables, fish, nuts and water helped calm stress

I've to confess I didn't get it!

I count on Patrick to decypher and explain.
Thanks.

Does it have anything to do with https://www.cafe-polyglotte.com/t3420p150-internet-english-resources-grammarlycom-2#21020 ?

Gérard, I will ask him. At the moment he is busy watching the football match on television.

Okay Muriel, thanks!

So instead of "Suspender Dorothy", what did that witch want to write?   The spellchecker played tricks...

NB: I'm watching a soccer match as well (Séville/Benfica Lisbonne).

Gérard, Patrick says  he doesn't know English subtleties enough to be able to answer. Anyway I have an idea though I am not sure it is right.
 With autocorrect the word "suspend" (Dorothy is suspended in the air) has become "suspender"=>garment used to keep nylon stockings up and the people nearby don't understand.
Is it funny ? I don't know 

Hi Muriel,

Okay no problem for Patrick's silence.

Thanks for your words and the idea.

There's a difference between British and American English.
With "suspender", I don't think it's obvious for a Brit because:
- they use the plural and the singular doesn't ring a bell
- GB "suspender belt" is "porte jarretelles"
- GB "suspenders" are "jarretelles"
- US "suspenders" are "bretelles" (GB "braces")
