I disagree. Standardized spelling is a way to make communication easier, and less confounding. If everyone could simply spell everything in their own way, then no one would know what anyone else is saying.
If you want true anarchy in grammar, than words would not even follow a phonetic aspect, and then communication via the written word would truly be impossible.
My point is that nobody was advocating a complete breakdown of grammar. Creative spelling may be confusing to some people, but it doesn't--in and of itself--produce total gibberish.
I never said things didn't affect me. I simply don't whine incessantly when they do. I take an asprin and continue on, and give my opinion if I believe it is due.
Since part of the theme of her journal entry was her spelling problem, I thought my comment was within context.
As an aside--let it not be said that Lucas whined incessantly. She has been surprisingly silent throughout this, which is either an indication that she does not care, cannot partake of it, or is ashamed.
In those three cases, respectively: she should; a pity; unacceptable, as being ashamed will not help her in the slightest.
I have never been particularly in need of tact, and constructive is subjective.
She may be shy, and that is perfectly alright. I did not say her not being in the conversation was wrong, I was simply stating what my opinion was on the three possibilities I saw.
That might be likely--however, we are all forged by our experiences and upbringing--a concept you have candidly defended throughout this conversation. Rather silly of you to use it as an argument now.
When I took up fencing, I learned more than how to collapse lungs.
I wasn't using it as an argument. You need to perfect your study of rhetoric as well as your grasp of human interaction.
Eyes are a tempting target, too, and so are the great vessels of the neck. The heart is harder; it's farther left than most people realize. Unless you hit one of the major blood vessels, the liver just rolls on. Besides, I meant for you to survive and learn from your follies. So lung it is.
As an aside, you would note that while my suggestion was a sharp knife, yours seems to be a pointy sword. Was it you that, somewhere else, mentioned a pot and a kettle?
Standardized spelling is a newfangled tool of capitalist bureaucracy.
But, then again, so am I.

Capitalist bureaucracy has nothing to do with it.
