I keep wanting to post a list of my fannish pet peeves. Only then I realize it would be...well, bitchy. And probably not as cathartic as I would like. Lol. So, instead I will share some fic I very much enjoyed. :)

How lovely, high-minded, and ultimately enriching to us all that you took the road you did.

I'm not so high-minded, so here's my pet peevelet. It's a peevelet because I realize that it is the natural result of being divided by a common language, and lack of opportunity to learn, rather than lack of skill. I'm not heated about it, just occasionally shaken out of the moment by it.

I am occasionally tempted to publish a list of words and phrases that would never come out of an American English speaker's mouth. I don't mind if Jack O'Neill shines his torch on the wall, but when he tells Carter "Hand me that torch!" it had better be a burning brand, and not powered by Duracell.

I assume that the Brits and Commonwealth speakers would reciprocate, and we Americans would stop having Gwen say things like "Owen, have a napkin. You've a speck of ketchup on your chin!"

Ha. Nice try. You will not drag me in. :P

Though, to be fair, a diaper would easily deal with that ketchup! ;) This is why, for my HP fic, I have a British beta who happily beats me over the head with a dictionary when I say stupid things, which I do, quite often.
