I'm relatively sure that I've pointed this out in the past, but there is
no "the" in the phrase "written in stone." The idea that you could
write something *inside of* a stone (which is what you actually wrote)
is ridiculous. The phrase does not mean that the writing is inside of a
stone, or even that it is written *on* the surface of a stone. It means
that it has been *carved into* a stone, and is, therefore unchangeable.
I see what you mean, there, thanks.
"Carved in the store" sounds good.
Lunch meat from the store sounds better than roadkill, which you
evidently look for on your walks in the road.
