I shudder dramatically whenever I see a typo in a post - I cannot imagine the horror of having that preserved forever on the page. Especially if it wasn't my fault.
Yes, at least 90% of everything is crap.

Thrive to spite them
I would shudder with horror when I see a typo in my posts except I'm such a horrid speller and there's no spell check I just hope no one holds it against me.

I gave up shuddering in horror some time ago. It takes more energy than I've got to spare from resting. I mock bad ones, though.

I just finished Modus Vivendi last night. Wow, fuck, I really liked it. Isn't this the thread you were talking about in? The ending did seem to come a little quick; as the middle did seem to really stretch on for days and days at times where, if I hadn't been loving the writing so much, I would have started to look at my watch and tap my feet; but, Christ, that was a pleasant read.

Yeah, RL, after all the repetitions of Xander taking his meds, having everything resolve so quickly made me wonder if I'd missed sections.

... What's a LOC? I'm reading these LJ arguments. It seems to mean "a piece of feedback", from context, and my brain keeps trying to fill in "little old comment" but I'm sure that can't be it.

Loss Of Consciousness? Nah, can't be. But that's where I've heard that, ER and whatever.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. As shrift notes, it's Letter of Comment. It's also one of the oldest acronyms in fandom (and probably a newspaper one aside from that) dating back to the mimeo days, and part of an extended joke about "The shortest piece of fiction ever written." Which I think was pared down to two sentences.

Yeah, that occured to me at about three AM.
