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.

[badmomma64]

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.

It's always worse in printed media for some reason. The best one I saw was in the city centre a few weeks ago. Not sure if it's the same for you but here when people print out posters for local gigs and such they don't just put one on a wall and move on, they cover the entire wall with the things. I don't remember what band it was, but I do remember it was their 'Big Luanch', in two foot high letters lol.

I have all the time in the world at the moment, still off college until the beginning of september. I'll sort them out and send them over to you, the only reason I was delaying was because of the perfectionist streak lol. I need to make a few more in order for the set to be complete I think, but it still works well at the moment.
