Okay, I officially now hate Feliz Navidad. Thanks, practice carollers, for ruining it for me.
I've always been able to separate my business writing spelling from my personal spelling, but for some reason here my emails have "u"s creeping into them. Which gets complicated because we have a "My Favorites" section that gets spelt without the "u" when I quote it, but when I describe the favourites section, there's definitely a "u" there. Well, makes sense in my head. I do put zeds in instead of esses, though.
As for doubling ells, I have no idea when not to do that, so if Word doesn't tell me, I'm wildly inconsistent.
There's a restaurant I go to that won't accept either debit or credit cards for transactions under $10.
There are still some sit-down places around Boston (mainly in the North End) that don't take ANY credit cards. And I remember when it felt like the end of an era when Redbones in Somerville started taking them.
And what, pray, did you say???
I posted a spoiler like a stupid noob.
I don't do the freaky wrong spellings, but I do have some Southern US wording and phrases that often appear in my speech. I don't realize it until people look at me either confused or amused.

How do you even remember that? Was I a total bitch about it?

I want to wish you a merry Christmas...from the bottom...of my heeeeeart!
My closest (at work) post office doesn't take a credit card. I am surprised by how many checks I write now related to the children - anything to do with school, after school, etc. tends to be by check. I probably write more checks now than I did 5 years ago.

You were very nice about it. I remember it because it was really my first foray into fandom culture and learning certain rules of discourse.
Just because you learnt it differently, doesn't make it wrong!
Learned, boy. The word is pronounced "learned."

And because you have a really good memory, keeper of the Buffista Files.
