I love spelt!

I also hate when people use "judgement" for "judgment." We're not in England, folks! And the sad thing is, I'd say over 50% people still think it is judgement.

Thanx for clearing that up. I've heard stranger stories which purported to be true. Takes all kinds they say.

I have to add the obligatory there/their/they're which people fuck up so often. It really isn't that hard.

Maybe they were referring to more than one destruction. Ever think of that? HUH? Well, did you?

And maybe they're no more articulate than our outgoing President.

Someone on NPR yesterday kept saying "MPGs" during a story about oil consumption in the US. Wanted to reach through the radio and strangle the numb skull. Same thing with people who say "WMDs."

I hate when muthafuckers use "is" twice when it is completely unnecessary. "The problem is is....." "The issue here is is......"

That and holier-than-thou hippie wannabes driving their Priuses to Trader Joes to get "organic" whatever. NEWS FLASH: If it is or was ever alive, it's organic. Get off your high fucking horses and learn English you pathetic sheep.

Spelling? Fuck spelling. This language is so fucked up it...

eachother

is NOT a word. It's "each other" with a nice space inbetween, not "eachother" all squashed up against each other.

Whew, I feel better now.

I'm in a play and the poster art was sent out today.

I raised an appropriate ruckus. I hope that it isn't too late to fix because I can't possibly DISPLAY something like that.

What words do you absolutely HATE seeing spelled wrong? The one that irks me the most is tomorrow. GAWD, I wanna kill myself every time I see people spell it TOMARROW, TOMOROW, TOMAROW, or any other equally stupid variation.
