tigriswolfMy god, how hard is it to spell the word SUMMARY!? Or even GLANCE at the summary of your beloved story before you post it for all the world to see?
Also, when someone points out a GLARING ERROR in your summary politely in a private message, is it too much trouble to FIX IT?!
I am way too tired to be up and looking for stories...

Date: 2006-12-16 09:37 am (UTC)If someone misspells the word "summary" or even a word in the summary, I will skip the story completely. It's bad enough to be reading through and find errors like loose/lose, breathe/breath, "couldn't of" instead of "couldn't have". People who don't know the difference between those need to go back to elementary school before they try to write anything!
And also, it's after 4:30 AM here, my friend is dropping off her toddler for me to babysit in 6 hours and I'm doing the same thing you're doing. :) Don't feel bad.

I understand the odd typo here and there(even though reading through your story _before_ you post it would catch most of those) but almost every other word either misspelled or used wrong? My fourteen-year-old sister knows better!
Of course, she _has_ lived with me for her entire life. Not everyone can be so lucky.
I went to bed about 4:30 my time and didn't get up till 11:20. That's the most sleep I've gotten in a long time.
