I am too picky.  My expectations are too high.   I need to get over myself.  

Bad punctuation, grammar, and spelling make my eyes bleed, just so you know.  And cry.  And scream.  

I think I'll be an editor when I'm all growed up.  (That was intentional, by the way.  It's okay to make mistakes if it's intentional.)

Double standards?  What?

I really think my little obsession with correct spelling, word usage, and grammar will drive me to kill.  How hard can it be to realize 'fried' and 'friend' are not the same things?  Or that once you have a complete thought, you end the bloody sentence instead of rambling on?  

My god.

But, on the plus side: less than fifteen minutes!

I'm too tired to write anything other than: I agree with every word you just said.

Wow, it'd be pretty ironic if I managed to spell something wrong in this.

I think you got everything right. Now, go sleep!

Hmm...I'll admit, I have my share of typos. I know I have them. It's what I get for not using a beta on a regular basis.

But. I will also admit that I'm a huge grammar nazi. Semi colons? Please, please, people know how to use them. And you know what really irks me? Bad punctuation in dialogue. Ugh. I won't get started there.

So, no, I don't think your expectations are too high. It's not asking for perfection. Just the ability to read a fic without wanting to claw out your eyes.

Actually, this little meltdown was inspired by a poem. I honestly think that the rest of the reviewers didn't read the some thing I did.

Or, they were getting something about it I just couldn't see.

Oh, yes, I have typos all the time because I type too fast. But how hard is it to read over something and correct them?

Semi-colons? I love those! They're such fun.

Hmm...maybe they saw it too but didn't care enough to point enough? Or, more than likely, they didn't see it at all?

Typos are annoying. I still read my writing over multiple times before posting, but every once in a while a typo or two floats through. (Which is both embarrassing and annoying.)

Semi-colons are great! All right, I'll stop now. :)

...but didn't care enough to point it out

*facepalm*

Sorry. See. Typos. We're good friends.

Rereading my previous comment, I caught a typo.

I didn't even catch yours until you pointed it out!

I really need to get off the computer now.
