Charlie's brother, right?

I passed by a church billboard once that promoted the glories of "Jesus Crist".

I bet they bought that $1.99 Bible.

Totally unrelated, I am endlessly amused that Groupon sent me a deal for something called "Savage Race Ohio" and "The Survival Race." I think they need to hone their demographics. I don't race, and I especially don't participate in events that sound WAY too similar to the Quarter Quell. And that's because I know I would be the first to die in the Hunger Games. I could *maybe* bruise someone with my sharp wit, but Katiss would arrow me before I could even choke out a bon mot.

Nice try, Groupon.

I always think that on certain websites, standards will be upheld, and not so much it turns out.

In one of the October Daye books I just found a "taunt" that was supposed to be "taut". I was so disappointed - I feel like Seanan's one of us (once removed) via PC, therefore would be mortified. So I assume it was someone else's error after it left Seanan's hands. And at least it's only once. I had to give up on a book where the author was in love with "demur", but kept spelling it "demure". I was yelling at the book (She did NOT "demure"! It's not a VERB!) so I finally just put it in my Goodwill box.

I bet that's one of those words that your fingers betray you on -- you mean to type "taut" and your fingers make it "taunt". Seriously, I cannot type "ratio" without consciously spelling it out in my head, R-A-T-I-O, as I type. Otherwise my fingers add an "n" and make it "ration" EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Why, fingers? Why?

My fingers have this problem with jounral. This was a real problem when I worked in an academic library.

for those of you playing along at home, I am down to 7 invoices in the queue.

Every time I return an article, I upload it and fill out a form to indicate if it has changes. And every time, I type "Chnages as indicated on proof." And then I go back and correct it, because it looks really bad when your editor can't spell "changes".

Maybe I should stop using the word "changes" and just type "Thag fix words. You see."

If I find myself typing the name Lucius, I have to pause not to type lucious--which I just had to correct. Darn you, Lucius Malfoy.

I don't know how many "taunt" abs I've read about in fic.

I do the same thing! And I work in video post-production, where the term "aspect ratio" comes up a LOT. You'd think I'd eventually learn.

I'm a medical editor -- there are all kinds of lab test ratios! My fingers NEVER learn!

Totally unrelatedly (this makes the second time I've done that in the last 5 minutes), it is the CUTEST thing in the world when the dog is sleeping...and starts wagging his tail! I hope he got some dream bacon.
