Two today. Because they're short. Yet, quite bad anyway.

The First:

TITLE: An Improbable Meeting Indeed.
CULPRIT: Mrs Capt Jack Sparrows At first I thought that I'd reported this person before, but, no. She's just one of Jack's many wives.

Lievtenant? Wasn't that just... before they actually curved the 'u's? O.o

And as a nautical geek, I weep every time they misspell Port Royal. It's not that difficult, people! >O

Love the icon! After I saw Love, Actually I quoted that line for weeks!

Yeah, the lieutenant bit pissed me off too. It's just the way the letters looked back then. The old lowercase s looks like a modern-day f, but that doesn't mean they put S in the place of F.

I know the Suethor didn't necessarily name it after the character, but my inner Buffy geek feels very possessive over the name 'Kendra'. ::glareglareglare::

oh and you'll notice lieutenant is spelled funky, it's the British way back in the 17th century, Lievtenant...

Step away from the keyboard, 'Sue.

Okay, so Lieutenant is pronounced "Lieftenant", and with a British accent, that might sound to you like "lievtenant" but hearing DOES NOT = spelling. It's lieutenant. And in your fic where your characters are referring to their fathers as "Dad" you have no right to claim anything about the "17th century". Neither God nor man has the power to alter this. /Javert

Mrowhiss.

Is it just my monitor or my eyes or is that "little blue button" always being referred to actually sort of lavender?

When I was 'Sueing, I think I referred to it as grey.

Ack sorry. So many punctuation errors.

I don't know which accent (as in which bit) of england the sueauthor thinks her/his characters come from, but (with most of these fics) in London we do pronunce the T. LueTenant is more like it.

Aha. Ahahaha. See me, I am amused. See, I am laughing. Ahaha.

I do possess the hourglass figure coveted amongst 18th-century women, and while I am not overweight by any stretch of the imagination, I would love to see a Suethor try to describe my figure as skinny. Large breasts, a tiny waist, and large hips tend to make even a small girl like me look very weighty. Mayhap I shall have to tell dear Suethor this.
