We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
You go, Hil! That's awesome!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That is definitely the correct response to that profile, Hil.

Huh. I know this sounds judgey, but if that profile is 100% honest, I'd suspect a head injury, mostly for the pervasive spelling errors and lack of filter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to work out how that guy is supposed to have earned a university degree with spelling that's as bad as any I've ever seen from an adult. If he did, then he has resources to mitigate the bad spelling, right? Well, why wouldn't you think a dating site profile is a good place to use them? It's not very easy for a reader to pretend that didn't just happen, and first impressions you can control are key.

How bad does it sound that I'd like to think so? But due to the nature of my job I see a lot of user-generated content, and a lot of it isn't much more than a step above this guy. It often makes me despair for humanity.

FYI to the ladies: apparently Nordstrom has a sale going on, and if like me, you have difficulty finding bras in your size for prices that aren't ridiculous, I thought you might want to know about the 40% off.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
if that profile is 100% honest
That profile has to be a joke. Four-year-olds can spell better than that, even if they might fumble on the homophones.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am a very bad speller. I spell much better than that . And I use spell check.
I can't buy it either.

Okay I feel much better thinking of all these weirdly creepy profiles as jokes. Not sure who the joke is on, but whatever.
I have colored my hair! Finally hit the right color auburn, the one I think of as my hair color. DH was iffy when I said I wanted to go redder, but he likes this.
