Bad spelling doesn't ping me nearly as badly as bad punctuation does. English spelling is hardly fraught with consistent rules - "I before E except after C" is about it. It's too illogical, and truly good spelling requires far too much memorization for many excellent minds to be successful with it. The rules of punctuation are much more consistent, and vastly easier to deal with. Minds that can't manage good punctuation, are minds I judge to either not care about the rules that make society work, or are actively rebelling against them (gawd, that e e cummings fellow was such a HOTT li'l rebel). But the thing is, I try to be charitable with evidence of either issue in chat, in email, in places like this. It's communication between friends. To heck with being perfect and prim and proper. As long as it isn't too hard to figure out what is actually being said, it's ok. It's on finished documents that these things can be dealbreakers for me.
By gum, I hate it when someone posts fan fic, begging for people to read and review, can't be bothered to run the thing through a spell-checker, and showing utter contempt for conventions of grammar and punctuation. Then they get all angry when my review includes links to punctuation tutorials "because it will help you put your best foot forward".

OK, no fair. I ordered pizza online. It said 30-40 min. that was 45 min ago. I gotta pee, and I **KNOW** if I head to el baño, the doorbell will ring.
ION, looks like I'm heading to FLA in November. Advice needed! I haven't flown in 2 or 3 years or something. ACK! 1st, and most important, what's the best way to book and get a good deal. Is there a direct flight from Southern California (like San Diego to Burbank area) to Orlando area? I really hate the thought of multi-stops. I'm sure there will be more questions, but I'll save them for when the time draws closer.

Despite my lack of perfection in the punctuation of the written English language, I am still nice enough to feel like a jackass for it.
I'm really miffed I missed the Star Wars episode.
FB, a friend of mine told me that this weekend Cartoon Network is showing both RC's SW ep and Family Guy's SW ep back to back. Go forth and enjoy.

Travelocity or somesuch can help you out, omnis. ND will likely know the best SoCal to Orlando airlines.
I will point out that San Diego just got free wireless internet about a month ago. But that can't be close for you to leave from... Still, it's made me happy given how often I have been there recently. PDX to and from SAN just got a lot nicer for passing the time you have to spend in airports.

The lovely thing about Fay is that both her eyes and bosom are equally attractive.
And her hair and her accent.
And her style and her wit.
There's a lot to like about Fay.
I am so sad. I went to Jilli's LJ post right away, and I'm all LOCAL now....and someone had already claimed the one thing my size. Sigh. I think that means I deserve extra Jilli time, or fashion guidance, or something.

I was skimming and I misread the first reference as "pornpoms," and it all went south from there.
I think that means I deserve extra Jilli time, or fashion guidance, or something.
I'm pretty sure it means you should play dress up with Ple and Jilli.
And take pictures.
Yes, I'm certain that's the right course to take.
I think that means I deserve extra Jilli time, or fashion guidance, or something.
Oh goodness, twist my arm, why don't you?
