but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye

Meh. I woke up from one of those deeply vivid and long anxiety dreams this morning and it was fucking with my head. Part of it is PMS, but part of it is being unable to shake that anxious yet groggy feeling of helplessness. Ugh. I went for a walk at lunch and got some kettle cooked chips and an iced latte, and I feel better now, but man, that was a

I was thinking of doing a "!=" post myself recently, over several "Dear internets" (though in my case, more specifically, "dear fandom") problems.

I wonder if we could start a community called !=

(probably not; no punctuation in usernames, right?)

I've seen both "hun" and "chic" in non-fannish settings, but yeah, you should.

It couldn't be the actual user name, but that could be does-not-equal and the journal name could be !=.

Oh, yes. If I see "per say" one more time....

Fandom-specific stuff is often actors' names (Ian McKellen, Ian McKellen, Ian McKELLEN. He has his own BLOG at ianmckellen.com for Christ's sake!), or show-specific terms that, apparently, nobody can take the thirty seconds out of their day to look up on the internet (U.S. Marshals has ONE FUCKING "L", White Collar fandom. "Marshalls" is a department store).

The problem, of course, is that the people who would need to read the community wouldn't bother, and the people who don't need to read it would be the ones who were already there because they would be the contributors.

It would have to be a bitch community.

Probably a bad idea.

members-only, maybe? *g*

Per say! Gah! That's another one! If you don't know how to spell it, don't use it!

Very true.

Yeah, that rarely ends well.

But they *do* know how to spell it, as far as they're concerned. That's the biggest problem of all.

You're right. I know you're right. But it makes me crazy.

I feel that now is the time to admit that I cannot spell those pre-dinner snacks ("horses' ovaries") nor the French expression for PDQ ("toot sweet"). However, I do know I'm misspelling them, because I learned all my French aurally, and can hardly spell anything in French.

Whether my reading audience knows that I know I'm misspelling, harder to determine.

Which means you are ahead of 97% of the people on the internet.
