Gee, "allowed", "aloud" can't seem to figure out which is the correct spelling... or should that be:
can't seem too figure out?
can't seem two figure out?

And no, I have not just been reading fanfics. Why yes, I'm still at hard at work-work.

Sorry. I had to vent.

Fanficitis. I get it too. My problem words now are effect/affect, past/passed and loose/lose. Drives me insane because I used to know which was which lol.

Ah yes. Some of my all-time favorites as well.

But honestly, I really wasn't reading fic. I am still technically working (well not while I'm actually eating shit in LJ, but you know!) and the misspelled, misused words that have been flying around for the past two days in company correspondance just made me postal.

(Not to bitch or lay claim or anything, but I really could have used that Heero-homicidal emoticon today - you know the one ~__~)

LOL. In the place I used to work there was a sign on the wall saying that 'all children should be accopanied by an adult.' Drove me crazy the whole time I was there, even worse because it was a printed poster and not something hand written.

I'm still working on that emoticon set. If you're happy having the ones I have at the moment though I'll get the urls to you. It's been a while, I thought I'd have been finished by now.

You know... I've recently noticed several blatant errors in printed media. One of my favorite restaurants has ads in the menu booklet and a real estate company did the there/their thing. Same with not 1 but 2 ads at the cineplex; 2! that did the there/their thing too. I was appalled!

And I'd love the urls, but only if you have time. I haven't had much on-line time lately, but I'd love to share a little Hee-love in my emotis.

laugh or cry. it's gotta be one of those.

or maybe go postal, but then i can't murder all my coworkers (because they are not in Florida); just cringe when i read that kind of crap and hope the rest of the dumbf^@%$ don't continue the trend.

on a separate note: you going to AFO this year?

Yes, we'll be there. We're driving up on Wed some time and leaving Sun night. Me, my 2 "chibis" and my niece.

I'll definitely drop by!!!!

And what's wrong with that sign? Parking should never be done loudly! All those sounds of sucking, fumbling and shock absorbers squeaking from the back and forth motions, and buttons popping and zippers scraping and... Oh! Did they mean you're not allowed to park?
Sorry, been reading two much smut lately... or would that be: too much?

*grins* I've clearly exhausted my homicidal tendencies.

Looking forward to seeing you, too. You gonna be hanging with Kits?

If there's anything to remember, it's that English is weird. T'was the first lesson on the first day of fifth grade, and enough books and writing have sufficiently proved the truth of the statement, lol.
