I don't have much commented on, but here's what I've written so far:

Misspellings:

ABULT LANGUAGE- No one is quite sure what this ABULT language is, but we must assume that it is the language LQ speaks, for her typing reminds poor readers repeatedly that she can’t possibly speak English as a first language.

ABOUVE GUIDELINES- These supposed guidelines apparently deal a lot with selfish pride. Whatever.

ONES-SELF- Dollar bills have rights, too, you know.

Queer phrases:

grown a fond interest- And fungus, too. How do you grow a fond interest in something?

all has liked- Don't get out the hammer, yet, this is the least of LQ's crimes against the English language. This should have been 'all have liked'.

REAL LEMON- As opposed to fake lemons, which don’t quite taste the same.

PLAIN OUT OFF THE WALL- Does not compute.

CANNOT CONDUCTIVE THEMSELVES IN THE SIMPLEST MANORS- I'm not sure what she means here. Though it's amusing to think of being conductive in a simple manor house. Hee.

I turn my nose at it and look away- You turn your nose up, usually. But if you're LQ, you turn at it and then look away. Right.

from the gecko- Geckos usually work for Geico. But it would be nice if they’d warn us about her ahead of time, too.

I begun to think- This must be the ABULT language she speaks of. English speakers would say 'began'.

Then I made a big grin- Well. Most people just grin. ABULT speakers make a big grin, instead.

Say What?:

Some good, some bad, some very realistic, even ones that feels very real.

If something is very realistic, it stands to reason that it will likely feel very real. Redundancy, it's what's for dinner.

when one-day word came in that peace had been restored to Hyrule do to the legendary "Hero of Time."

One must read this a few times to get the gist of what is being portrayed. It should read something along the lines of 'due to'. But do to makes you wonder. What *is* she going to do to him? Well, if you've read MIL, you already know.

I had to chase some thief's off

Herein lies a blatant depiction of her inability to handle the most basic grammar structures. It's mind boggling, truly. Thief's, indeed.

Out of everyone I've dealt with in this ENTIRE idle situation, you've got to be the most illiterate person of them all.

Funniest line EVER.

YOU'RE supposed to inject POSITIVE attributes on the youth, instead, you teach them enmity and creed.

Put the thesaurus away. It does NOT make you look smarter. Actually, I take that back. Perhaps this is simply part of the ABULT language. I'd love to see a textbook on this.
