why is randi rhodes often spelled rhandi rhodes on DU? |
|
a few more questions about the accepted spellings of certain words in chatrooms and forums:
why is "tongue" often spelled "tounge"?
why is "oops" always spelled "opps"?

Punctuation is overrated too.
I hate school marms, with their long dresses and fussy hair...

12. i rarely, if ever use uppercase letters |
|
i only use punctuation if totally necessary. for example, if a post of mine has more than one sentence i will actually use a period to separate them. i do, however, know the grammar rules...i just like to break them. but, for some reason, goofy spellings of words drive me nuts. another thing that drives me nuts is incorrect use of the apostrophe.
