missing apostroph

in "...of the adjectives meanings.", is a lacking apostroph: "...of the adjectives' meanings"

dot comma

instead of "It;s not healthy...", correct is "It's not...".

also in "...it;;like honey", one extra ";" is unnecessary

Tasteless

What is an adjective for a tasteless food? Insipid! I think it is the one missing here.

reply

Sour is one of the basic tastes. It is acid, lemon-like or vinegary, tart, bitter, acerbic. Sour food has a sharp biting taste and, certainly, is not sweet.
