HOW COULD YOU? How could you let the title of an art piece show up on several web sites misspelled? Not only did the painting appear on this blog, on the dot com and on the wordpress site but it also showed up misspelled on Flickr and on every feed associated w/ Flickr and every feed associated w/ Wordpress. How could you?
You , my friends who can spell let this happen. It’s not my fault. I accept no responsibility for that mistake, none at all. I’m supposed to have people, nay friends watching my misspelling back but no, nope you let me publish it that way and let it stay up there for days….days I say days! Then you rubbed my lack of spelling skills in by telling me you talked to Sissyface about it. Should you tell me? Hell yes you should tell me. When it comes to art TELL ME. Don’t leave me in the misspelled dark. No, there is no new slang expressing called beconning. That word is BECKONING. For the love of all that is artistic and holy someone could have told me.
Don’t think that JAGA or Kathryn (a school teacher okay…a.school.teacher) are off the hook for letting this thing go on for days. DAYS. Y’all conspired didn’t you? It’s one huge conspiracy against innocent, quiet, soft spoken Austin who never, ever rocks the boat and who is always soooo kind to others…sickeningly sweet as a matter of fact….so sweet she could give you diabetes, toss you into a diabetic coma of sorts she’s so sweet. I can’t go on….oh but I must. Where will the strength come from when I’m out here unsupported? Did I spell that right? Un-sup-port-ed.
Maybe a clue about my spelling ability came in when I did a test of the education level required to read my blog. Now how sad is this?
Check your reading level here.
I haven’t decided if this is a good or bad thing. Elementary school? Does this mean any level of education can understand my blog? Am I that versatile OR does it mean my inability to spell decreased my blogging status?
The Cheesemeister got Post grad College. Puts me to shame it does, puts.me.to.shame.
Hey, hold on a sec. How come you used only MY name in the title of this post? How come I get singled out, when there’s all kinds of folks reading your blog who know how to spell?
Oh sure, they may not admit to it, for who wants the responsibility for keeping up with all your misspellings? Did I spell that right? See, I’m not perfect, I’m not a walking spellcheck.
Just so you know, Sissyface is a teacher too. Did she bother to write and apprise you of your error? What’s that? No? Hmmm. And yet I’M the one getting scolded. Well (mumble, mumble), I never! (Shuffles off in a huff to go chain smoke, thus increasing the likelihood of getting lung cancer much sooner than she would have had you not laid a guilt trip on her…)
PS How was I to know that “beconning” wasn’t some kind of newfangled slang term, for instance, “hey, don’t you beconning me, mister!”?
Ummmmmmmm… We won’t even talk about how I can’t spell.
Remember those standardized tests they made you take in school? Me? Math, reading, science 95th percentile or higher. Spelling, 40th on a good day.
PS: No ‘e’ in my name
PPS: The only thing that saves me spelling impaired ass on my blog is the built in spell checker in Firefox.
I’m one of those people who regularly stump spell checkers because they can’t figure out what word I was trying to spell.
We are in the same class there. Spell check is only helpful if it has the slightest idea what you’re talking about. It’s really bad when Google suggests French dictionaries and stuff. I’m horrible w/ vowels. I’ve said it before, I’m all but vowel Deaf. I don’t know why either. I really get those mixed up OR I don’t hear them in the word at all which makes spelling it even worse. I fully expect spell check to one day throw up a pop out window that say, “Oh.come.on! You’re kidding me woman!” The PC flashes and shuts down.
Now that I know I’ve sufficiently guilt-ed Beauty I feel a measure of peace but I’m still waiting to reel JAGA into this whole thing. Then I’ll really be able to sleep knowing I’ve let all you conspirators know that I am shocked by your behavior or lack thereof. I hope soon to put this whole shenanigan (thank goodness for spell check on that one) behind me.
Here I am again up at nearly 7am as if I don’t have somewhere to go. I tend to stay up late the night before therapy.
Austin
And I was secretly wondering why you spelled becoming with two n’s. Glad to know it’s really beckoning.
Thank goodness for spellcheck. However, I hate auto-correct. It corrects things like “marital” to “martial” and other embarrassing things. The worst thing is that I won a spelling bee in 7th grade. You sure as heck can’t tell now. (although my excuse is that I spell just fine — I just can’t type!!!!)
I think your blog deserves better than an elementary school rating! Some of my humor blogs got genius ratings. I’m scratching my head about that!
