finally...

//silly rant on

Ok, I get into some trouble or whatever with something at work... I can cruise around the net, dive into training course binders, search text books, mark pages across a library of O'Reilly books call meetings with my team, and conference in the code writers... but spelling? dictionary?

Do you have any idea how many times I have typed the word "Bus" - well actually buss - in this journal? A gaziliion and eighteen... that's how many! and today is the first time anybody has bothered to mention the whole single "s" in bus thing to me... THE FIRST TIME...

Do you realize how many perfectionists, anal retentives, obsessive compulsives or just generally speaking good spellers with a chip on their shoulders are on my friends list (and DO NOT FOR A SPLIT SECOND MAKE any head noises about that being mean... hell we talk about those conditions all the time... so I don't mean a negative thing in the whole wide world and every other world for that matter!) and nobody has every corrected buss? Well until tonight.

Thanks miss spelling bee girl... by the way. I really don't mind being corrected... I freely admit that I'm spelling deficient... Only a few months ago did Z say the magical sentence to me "Friends is spelled by saying FRY and END together." and after 39 years of existence as an English speaking person I have confidence when my fingers start typing the word friend... And in Lj land... that word is a biggy!
