I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Thanks, Dana!
And now I'm signing off for the day. Must do actual work.

I meant to ask this a while back and was reminded by thequestion in Boxed Set about what ZPM means.
I've read several stories where the author writes ZedPM. Sometimes it's when Rodney is talking and sometimes when there isn't dialouge. I alway feel thrown when I see "ZedPM" during his dialouge bits, I know that's what he says but it irks me. Is it just me that gets irked by this?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Irked? Dude, "ZedPM" is the right way to call these things. t bursts into a spontaneous rendition of O Canada

Yeah, but it's sort of like spelling out an accent. We know Rodney pronounces "Z" as "zed". It's not actually written that way, is it?
Right?
I'm suddenly suspicious of all British and Canadian people. Do you go around writing out "zed"?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's the correct verbal rendering, but spelling it out is unnecessary. Yeah, that would be irritating.

Oh, you mean fanfic writers spelling out ZedPM in fic. (Which obviously was what askye meant now that I've stopped having a brain-farty overly-patriotic moment and actually read her post.) Yeah, that's kind of irksome.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, that was written during the part of the day when I thought it was Monday.
The ZedPM thing is kind of like when someone writes out Fraser saying the "left" in lieutnent.

It's like hearing the "u" in colour and flavour pronounced.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What, they don't rhyme with "velour"?
