This story is starting to-----

get tedious, it is a little hard to believe that there is this much animosity between the main participants.
Get on with it and get to the point. One and a half page chapters is getting very boring.
It really started off good, but it is going down hill fast.
In this case, Mr. Anonymous appears to be laboring under the misapprehension that the language spoken in the USA is "English." English is, obviously, the language of England. In the USA, we speak something else. My dictionary is actually titled: "Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language. I suppose those who object to calling the USA "America" may object to calling our language "American," but "USAan" just doesn't have a ring to it somehow.rachlou said:The meaning of 'knackered' can be found HERE Yes it is a british slang word, but it can still be found listed in many dictionarys. Try buying a more up-to-date one?![]()
Programme or program - either is correct. However, programme is the british version. Same with center and centre. Centre is the british version.
The use of Ass and Arse is a contentious issue. Personally i think ASS is a donkey type animal and I am reluctant to use this in a sexual theme. In my part of the world, ARSE refers to a persons backside/buttocks/bottom.
I did not mispell HYPNOTISE. British spelling uses the ISE rather than IZE. Again this is because I am BRITISH not AMERICAN.
I realise i use a uniquely british turn of phrase. Unfortunately this is becasue i live in England. This is what makes my writing more individual. Get over it. At least have the guts to leave an email address so I can reply to your comments in a more direct way. Fuckwit.
Love rach
nor do I need to spend time thinking about how a woman thinks .... because I am one. As for dates .... if I am a mom I had a date at some point in my life When did you last see a lady wear a bonnet?Skip1934a said:Well, you may be lazy sods and illiterate bastards. I don't really know about that. But to a fault, every Canadian I ever met was a nice person. I might add that I don't care for citizens of the US being referred to as 'Americans'. There are many nations in the Americas, so why are we in the US the only 'Americans"?
And how are we to refer to those that live in the UK? Do we call them bad spellers, UKingdomites, Mothers of the 'American' revolution? To tell you the truth, I love the English accents, all of them. I just wish they knew how to spell 'center'. And I wish they'd call a car hood a 'hood' instead of a 'bonnet'. Ladies wear bonnets on their heads.
And I will qualify my rant as 'all in fun'.

Aren't hoodies banned in most shopping ...centres? *smirk*rachlou said:Most ladies (and i use the term loosely) wear 'hoodies' round here!![]()
Oh they are, but it doesn't stop them hanging about outside on the pavement... *wink*geronimo_appleby said:Aren't hoodies banned in most shopping ...centres? *smirk*
I agree. The "accent" in writing is great. If people can't cope with some differences in spelling that indicate geographical setting or origin, they are missing out on nuances and lovely details in writing. I do hope authors don't change to conform to semi-illiterate idiots.slyc_willie said:Such comments as those on Rachlou's excellent story just about make me ashamed to be American.
I've followed Rachel's stories closely, and have been privy to a few 'sneak peeks' here and there. Maybe that makes me biased. But very few authors write in her particular, casual, vernacular, and I find that charming and endearing. Rachlou has a knack for pulling readers into her 'world,' and I think the ratings on her stories attest to that.
The attack on her writing is nothing more than a vicious troll outburst made by an ignorant human being who lacks control over his supposedly opposable thumbs to flip through a dictionary.
As a fan of Rachlou's work, and also as an American, I find her writing unique and titilating. I hope she never changes.

Just thought I'd let you know I gave you a 1 in the scoring because the grammatical error in the description of your story has finally irritated me beyond all forbearance. No, I won’t tell you what it is. By researching rules of grammar and punctuation, you’ll learn far more. Good luck with your continuing education in how to write.
You tell him SW!SweetWitch said:Are you fucking kidding me? I work my ass off to bring you a great story--one for which you were not charged and no compensation was offered me--and you judge it by some stupid error in the description that I didn't even put there?
What's the matter? Couldn't find any problems within the story to tear it apart over? Just to make yourself feel all superior, you felt a need to destroy my score because of something that was done by the Lit mods and was completely out of my control. Poor baby, you must really have a nasty self-esteem issue.
Then you try to top off your quest to prove yourself better than me--something, by the way, you will never be able to do--by telling me to "research the rules"? My, you must really be in deep need. Let me guess, you're a guy whose mommy used to dress like a girl and force to pee sitting down after she locked you in the closet for hours because she caught you whacking off. You're pathetic.
Do me a favor, ass-munch, pass me by next time. I absolutely forbid you--FORBID, I SAY!--to partake of my creativity, my talent and my hard work. You do not deserve a single word of mine, nor those words produced by the other hard-working, creative and talented writers on this site.
In short--go fuck yourself because no one else will have you.
Good luck with your continuing education on how to become human.
SweetWitch (You'll notice that I have no problem signing my name, unlike you--the amazing, spermless wonder that you are. )
