dear people of the internet (and newspapers for that matter):
stop spelling relatively simple words incorrectly. for example:
"loose" for "lose"
"definately" for "definitely"
"differance" for "difference"
seriously. are you retarded? did your parents pull you out of school in second grade so you could help pick tabaccy, you fucking moronic backwards hicks? "loose"? really? you honestly mean that you don't know that's wrong?
i'm tired of being nice about it and accepting of the fact that not everyone is a spelling cham-peen. you fuck up "quesadilla" or mistake "mantle" (a cape) for "mantel" (the thing over the fireplace), i'm not so worried. it's the very basics of human communication that are being eroded here, and i don't think we can blame the teenagers and their wacky texting any longer. the stuff i read is written primarily by, and for, adults.
i sometimes have difficulty spelling tricky words, but i almost always know when they look wrong, and i remedy the situation by LOOKING THE GODDAMN THING UP. is that so hard?
i saw "definately" in a newspaper the other day, and a few weeks ago, i saw "marshal law" on the front page of 24 Hours. jesus fucking christ.
the worst part is, in another decade or so, these will become so common that webster's will be forced to list them as variant spellings. and it will be all your fault. at that point, i'm going to kill myself--but don't think i won't take some of you chimps with me.
don't even get me started on "it's" versus "its".
Yours
very truly,
Ms.
Fancy Lady
