This is also changing a British spelling to its American equivalent, and
hence is not a permissible stinging.

This message was brought to you by the Society for the Preservation of

Unless I am mistaken, Pure Haste performed a game action on the 27th (placed
eirself on the cfj ineligibility list) and Kane on the 25th (joined the
game) which is well within the 14 day period.

Rule 1-2 ("Conventions") was recently changed to read: 'When an event is
specified to occur on a particular day, it shall occur at noon (12:00) on
that day, unless specified otherwise. A "calendar week" starts at the
beginning of a Sunday and lasts 7 days.'

I assumed this covered the potato?

That is not a recent change, and the Potato rule has specified Monday at
noon for the longest time.  Unless that got changed (I don't recall seeing
such a change)
