For those of you who don't know, LaTeX is a markup language, sort of like HTML, only extremely more powerful (like HTML vs Plain Text). It is used industrially to typeset books and scientific articles. It's easy enough to be learned by casual users though, and it's so much easier to type mathematics in it than in anything else (i.e. Word).
The capitalisation is wrong.
You have "bootle" for "bottle".
The final part about going to the store for more is missing.
