i'm judging you and i'm not even all that sorry about it.

I can make allowances in some cases for comma splices, lots of ellipses, the occasional misplaced apostrophe, and stray capital letters (plus and minus). Even some misspellings can be forgiven, if for example the word is not a frequently-used one or the content is otherwise admirable or there is some other mitigating circumstance. But it turns out that if you tell me you have "the up most respect" for women, that's where I'm going to stop reading. Bye, now.

Ouch.

There's someone on my flist who spells beaucoup as "boku." She's dyslexic, and I try to cut her a lot of slack, but I'm really sitting on my hands on this one.

I wonder if it's the same person as the one on my flist who spells voila as "walla".

She's not on either your LJ or DW list, so apparently there are at least two out there. I think "walla" would drive me even more nuts.

And it's usually with an exclamation point. As in: Today I showed X to person Y. Walla!
