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.

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.
