The only really huge peeve I have is people who absolutely refuse to use decent grammar and spelling. Your software can correct this stuff for you if you are having a problem. And there's a perfectly good free office suite available for anyone who can't afford Microsofts version. Foreign language readers and writers get a pass due to the ridiculous difficulty of the English language, however there are still plenty of people around who consistently offer help proofreading that it no excuse for anyone else. -- Fic Recon

Forgot to add, as for the rest I'm guilty of all or most of them, so I really only loot to see if the plot device is used reasonably and fits the story. (NT) -- Karen, 15:38:52 04/27/08 Sun
- I'm with you, I'm guilty of several of the above infractions, LOL. Oh well, shrug...I'm "gonna" take my post-call, migraine-weary body to bed, and dream of my favorite "Marine & Sailor," or is that "flyboy & tiger," and their future family. Hoping of course, there "ain't no" triplets or quads. Although, after my "chaotic, exhausting, stupendous, stressful, interminable" night on-call, multiple births are a definite possibility! LOL! Heaven help Harm & Mac! (NT) -- doc, 17:10:47 04/27/08 Sun
  - LOL Very funny doc! Go for it. I know what kind of crazy things popped into my brain when I was sleep deprived on graveyard. (NT) -- Karen, 17:31:52 04/27/08 Sun
  - Doc, looking forward to whatever you may be inspired to write! Some authors write so well, these "infractions" aren't even on the radar...you are definitely one of these authors! (NT) -- BlueJay, 19:34:33 04/27/08 Sun
