Oh for christ sake

Some one here must have read one of my posts in this thread earlier and decided to duplicate it.

Lookit what i got this morning :chuckles:

Comments:

Your gay stories SUCK the big one what the hell do you know about gay men and what they do????? You damn fish think you know it all. All women like to do is stab us men in the back.

:laughs:

Fucking moron. i swear to hell. I just find it amusing. My gay stories don't suck. The men in them do

:chortles:

Seriously though, whoever read this thread (where i talked about a post almost exactly like this) you don't even have the balls to give me your name and reply to you. But hey thanks for the laugh.

:chuckles and shakes her head:

And while we're on the topic, will you two-legs *please* stop penning snarling missives about how I can't understand your erotic desires and should go back to my stable and write for donkeys.

Honestly.

Two things that are bothering the fuck out of me.

Head over heels. H-E-E-L-S as in the heel of your foot, NOT Heals. To Heal is to make well.

This is a consistant error that is just a show stopper.

AND

this one is because you are not from the UK and it shows. A queue is a line, as in, we joined the queue for the theatre.

The homophone you want is CUE, as in, the actor said his line on cue, or he took a cue from his brother and did what their mother wanted.

Since these are words that sound alike but are spelled differently, WORD would not catch them, only a bona fide proof reader.

I have other observations if you want them. If you don't that's fine with me as well.

I would suggest that you make the changes however, since the overall effect is jarring.

Sorry, was that a specific observation on an individual author's work, or a general one on universally annoying habits?

If it's that latter, might I add that confusion between "bare" and "bear" gets extremely silly when a character is bearing his/her then bear ass. The visual image is excellent for comedy, but not so great for erotica.

One annoys me is faze/phase;

A phase is a stage of development, a temporary pattern, a cyclically recurrent form, a stage in a periodic process, a form of matter, etc. Phase is basically a noun, though of course there is a denominal verb meaning to carry something out by phases, etc. According to the AHD, phase is a "back-formation from New Latin phasēs, phases of the moon, from Greek phaseis, pl. of phasis, appearance, from phainein, to show.

To faze someone is to disrupt their composure or disconcert them, from Middle English fesen "to drive away, frighten". There is no deverbal noun in common use.

You could take it as either but this shows up in Nikki's work with alarming frequency.

Not claiming sainthood here, just making an observation.
