(no subject)

Nine-hundred eighty-eight words. All I need is another three hundred words, minimum, and I'll be home free. This whole paper-writing thing isn't really all that bad. It's the research I can't stand. *wince* Well, not even that. I suppose, given a topic I was interested in and adequate resources, it wouldn't be so bad, either. Interest makes all the difference.
Perhapse I could have been an English Major, after all.

It's not always the exception in my case. For the longest time, I was spelling "puerile" "peurile"...my mother caught me and corrected me. Anyway...if it's a touchy subject with you, I'll stop trying to make light of it.

-laughs- "Puerile" and "peurile" are one thing -- one may pass it off as a typo. You're talking to a guy who in his worst years spelled so poorly that one could not even begin to guess what he was trying to say. I can't even remember any examples they were so bad -- I'll ask my mom nest time I see her and report back. Spelling tests were the bane of my existence all the way up through 6th grade -- I never learned those clever little spelling rules, and even now have little more grasp of them than 'i before e.' I have come a long way, though, and I attribute most of it to my reading and my love of words, generally.

As for your humor... -shrugs- I don't want you to hold yourself back. -smiles- Far be it for me to squelch humor, yes? And it really doesn't bother me all that badly, so much as it's rather pointing out a flaw I've been fighting, and a stupid flaw at that.  ^_^;;
So, uhm, right, don't silence yourself on account of me, and such.
