English is a difficult language as it has many words which sound the same but have different meanings; has many words which have different sounds while having the same spelling; and has absolutely no logic to the way words are spelled. That leads to many errors, some quite egregious, which spell checkers and some editors do not notice. For example, there are many characters in many stories on Literotica who spend some time drinking a city in Illinois - Champaign. I am sure most of us would rather have that regional sparkling wine from France - Champagne. They sound the same, but are spelled differently and have very different meanings. To spend time expecting the arrival of something or someone is to wait. Weight is something many of us would appreciate losing a bit of, and I guess if it were possible we would also loose it. A beautiful woman is a sight for all to appreciate. Literotica.com is a web site. I could continue to cite examples, including this sentence, but will cease on the triple play.

Your stories read smoother, and much more enjoyably when grammar is correct and spelling is not as atrocious as in the title of this thread.

Please keep the good ideas and stories coming, and keep the characters coming too.

Bless your heart :heart:

I still struggle with my grammar, but I do think Im' getting a bit better. Spelling? Well that's a lost cause I'm afraid.

Thank God for patient editors say I!

If they aren't careful, lose rocks can cause them to loose their balance. ;)

Last time I'm putting mine on the "vibrate" setting, I'm telling you right now.
 
One of my pet peeves is "per say" meaning "intrinsically" "of itself" Spell it "per se" if that's the meaning you are trying to convey... :)

Buzz yourself, buster. I'm not that type of guy. Oh, I'm sorry. That was the name of the story, wasn't it? Never mind.

One of my pet peeves is reading "per say,"
when you mean "of itself," right now, today.
If that is the meaning you've tried to convey,
learn how to write it correctly: "per se."

I'm sure that helps a lot, doesn't it?

May I quote you from now on? It's probably better than the baseball bat I've been carrying!

Quote me? Heck, go ahead and claim it as your own. Here, I'll do it for you.

I Loathe when people use the wrong form of you're, your. It throws me completely off and at times I have quit reading because of it.

That's the same reason I posted the lose/loose thing. I was reading the book on digital photography that came with my camera. The first time he warned against loosing the lens cap, I cringed. The second time, I commented to hubby. The third time, I chucked the book across the room in abject disgust, where it still resides.
 
My favorite, here at Lit, is when people are taking off their cloths. And forgetting to breath.

In the heat of the moment, I don't care how they spell it! :D

I hate when I forget to breath. My cloths get all fucked up how about you'res?
 
MarshAlien said:
Or shall we just start striping off you're cloths?
I truly enjoy argyle. Striping is only necessary for long bouts of sex. Your only required to bend over and pull there cloths off if your not wanting it to go very long.
 
This thred is so humerus! I'm fallling out of my chear laughing at you guys dialouges. Stop! Please. My sturnum is hurting from me laughing so heard.
 
Stella_Omega said:
Can I have plaid instead? :rolleyes:

If your suggesting that you could have plaid this game better than me, you need to type a little faster, Stella.
 
your both arguing over the silyest stuff. Theirs only one truely honset was to setle this and that's a duel. So, step outside and put up you're dukes and wrassle it outa you're system.
