Spelling

[BrainyBeauty]

Dicks shun hairy..what? Pussies? Are you saying that if we don't spell correctly we don't get sex? Damn- where is my Merriam Webster? My Funk & Wagnalls!

Since this is a site for literary efforts of the sexual kind, it would seem to me that proper spelling would/should be considered de rigueur in the story section. But it doesn't disturb me when people are flirting and joking on the BB.

Although Laurel and Whisper have a valid point- since we can't see or hear those we are communicating with on here, all we can go by is the written word. Appearances do count. Are you going to hire the guy who comes in wearing a dirty, smelly t-shirt and ripped jeans or a person wearing a nice outfit? Same with reading a post.

And on that note..can I just register my pet peeve (another thread) for people to finally distinguish between the following words and phrases:

A person can lose his/her virginity. And a person can have a screw loose. Alcohol will help a girl loosen her tongue while a boy will lose his nerve without the booze. Never the twain shall meet.

And one last mix-up that I can't bear to read one more time.... It felt as if his head was being squeezed between her thighs as if it was in a vise grip. Not vice!!! Although that could happen if there was a police raid by the vice squad!

Whew- ranting over! Returning the spelling police badge back to the experts.

. It felt as if his head was being squeezed between her thighs as if it was in a vise grip. Not vice!!!

Vise is an Americanism of the English word vice. (which is an appliance for holding an object.)

Two nations seperated by a single language. LOL

ie *Slamming the bonnet and jumping in my lorry.*

I'm not sure why you posted as a guest for this. It certainly doesn't offend me when someone points out if I have made a mistake.

I think we can both be right in this instance if that will make you feel better.

P.S. Oh gosh. I'm sorry to point this out but I just noticed you spelled separated wrong! lol

And....I think you meant to use e.g. (for example) instead of i.e. (that is) in your demonstration of the differences between American and British English didn't you?

I don't think you are pedantic at all. We just disagree on the semantics.

For me spelling errors are tedious, they make a piece of writing more difficult to read, because you must undo the typo in your head. I swear, it's not just the threads that have typos either. Many, many stories have some weird typos in them. <g> the biggest one I have seen is orgasm<organism>?? How the heck do you misspell that word??? Or penis(pencil)

By having too much trust in your spell checker.

MS Word always suggests 'Cummins' for 'cumming' and makes some other really stupid (and sometimes hilarious) suggestions when the initial spelling isn't close enough for it to find the right word.
