Hi Everyone,

I'm a new member and really just checking this out. I've read quite a few stories and many are really good. It appears, more than appears, some authors have a real problem with spelling. I'm not into dangling participles or whatever, I make misteaks myself.

The biggest I've seen so far:

I'm cuming. Doe's that mean you're using a spice or herb in the wrong way? Cumin is a bit hot, and not for genital usage. It's great for Chile and some east Indian dishes. If you're into S&M, maybe, it's not my bag. I always thought the term should be cumming.

Number two has to be the term "shuttered". I guess while in the middle of an orgasm, she jumped up and closed the shutters. I guess a storm was on it's way. I would think a woman shuddered from her orgasm, not run around closing and sealing off a bunch of windows.

Number three has to be the next to most important on a woman's breasts, the aureola. I've seen it spelled in numerous ways, mostly wrong. The aureola are a symbol of life and light. Think of the northern lights, the circles and the spasms.

As the new guy on the block, I hope I didn't piss off the entire community.

I just had to say what I had to say.

Sorry if I offended you.

Nothing was intended, but to introduce individuals into spelling errors. What is your problem?

When posting a rant about spelling errors, don't make so many yourself. It just makes you look plain DUM.

Nothing at all, no problem. I just thought it funny to find you made a spelling error in a thread about spelling.

Surely you can see the humour in that.....


BTW - I agree with you. Some of the spelling in the stories is distractingly bad. I first try ignoring it but if it's fierce I give up on the story.

There's no excuse with all those rabid editors waiting to help.

1. I personally wasn't offended as I have written several stories for this site, and I will be the first to admit that I'm a lousy speller.

2. it was funny that you would start a thread about spelling errors and there was a spelling error in your thread as GP pointed out

3. you are going to need to develop thicker skin if you want to stick around this board because you will be eaten alive otherwise

4. Welcome to the board
 
Hmm, aurora = northern lights.
Areola = nipple area.

Otherwise, good try. :) And yes there a lot of people here anal about spelling. It just makes a better impression of a person when they make more than a half hearted attempt.

I could type this: euoamlmcoosufroies and insist it's a word, but who's gonna believe that?
