Spelling criteria

[Antfarmer77]

I'm rewriting my story (for the fourth time) and I have a question on phrasing.
Would I be rejected for a line like this Tim gasped "Mom! Don't or I'll cu...! on grounds of misspelling? Do I really have to change 'cu...' to the word 'cum' to get my point acrossed? I'm not complaining or whining mind you, I just would like to get it right..LOL I had a couple lines in my story that the speaker was cut off in mid-sentence and I was wondering if there was an acceptable way to write that to avoid rejection for spelling.

I don't believe your story would get rejected for that, unless the Lit editors are having a really really bad day. I would submit it the way it is.

Good luck with the story.

I'd replace the ellipsis with a hyphen, unless he actually utters the sound "cuh" and then pauses in silence before ejaculating.

Oh, and I'd insert a coma after "gasped." 'Tis grammatically correcter.

DOH!! I missed that...thanks!

And "more correct" is more correct than "correcter".

And "more correct" is more correct than "correcter".

Ah, but is "ironical" a more appropriate descriptor than "sarcastic?"
