I always type out loss and lose wrong, I either use the wrong word or just spell them plain wrong, like I'll type 'loose' when I mean loss >< http://www.soulpowercomic.com Slow your roll. I calls 'em likes I sees 'em.

I for some reason always pronounce V as W... My boyfriend used to ask if was because we pronounce it like that in danish, but I think it's the opposite. We don't really use the w, or the w sound in danish, so I just sort of replace ALL v's with w's (which in danish is called double-Vs). Apparently, it makes it rather funny when I say "Willain" <.< I came for the ERP, I stayed for the free booze.

Would that happen, you would all fall under her magical power... Yes, I don't get jealous. I understand you see everyone will end up loving her. Strangers come right up and kiss her on the neck, it's true! Now that I've accepted I must share her with the world, life is a lot easier. But oops, I believe this got majorly off topic. I tend to understand most spelling errors as I'm a horrible speller myself... but I can't stand the typical 'your' vs. 'you're.' Makes my eye twitch every time when people screw that up. And I screw it up too... and when I do, I make myself twitch. I know people make mistakes, it's just a personal thing I'll never be able to get over. Besides, I can't fault anyone for typos. I'm the tampon king. "While it is always good to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing."

How weird that sounds, it's actually true <.< It was really creepy, this guy came up to me the other day and told me that I should "share my love with ALL men" and then kept trying to hug me and kiss my neck (I think that was the only place he could reach, he wasn't very tall)... BUT talking about mispronounciations, mr. Rød. (Just to furthely go on a tangent, the danish word for red is really hard to prenounce for english speaking people, and it will often come off as the danish word for "ass" <.<). Aaaand back on topic: I actually spelled it colour for a long while too. In Denmark, we're taught british rahter than american, but since we watch so many american movies and stuff, it's usually a mix, so I'm never quite sure. I came for the ERP, I stayed for the free booze.

I'm okay with that. On topic, it also drives me crazy when people don't understand how to use "etc" properly or don't know that it stands for "Et cetera". Though I suppose that's more about being picky about Latin than English.
