Under Bag-type: "You haves to rummage" should be "You have to rummage".
Under Tin-type: "pencil case is that because" should be "pencil case is that, because" to match the later comma in the sentence (the rule is that the inserted explanation/comment should be wholly removable without preventing the rest from making sense).
In footnote 2: the ending single-quote mark in each case shouldn't be outside the comma.
Under Compartment-type: (not a typo but a comment) the elastic loops break by coming unstitched.
General comment: the word "that" is used rather a lot. In many cases "which" would be preferable or it can be omitted altogether.
Key: Complain about this post
