Hi. My name is Jami. And I’m a bad spellur.
— By Jami on August 16, 2009 at 4:00 pm
It’s true. I’m of the generation that was raised on calculators and spell check.
That’s most of the reason why I love Firefox.
So yea, I misspelled allowance when I made PC’s banner for his posts that run on Saturday. Woops.
But here’s a newsflash for you guys: There’s no spellcheck in Photoshop.
Ok, ok. There is. I just didn’t use it. I got lazy. I was dependent on my little red underlined squiggly crutches.
le sigh
And even PC tried to bring it to my attention in the comments on a recent PC Episode. My brilliant reply? “Um… Are we just saying words as questions? Is there a category here? My turn? Ok… Furniture?”
/faceslap
That wasn’t enough.
After my neanderthal moment on the blog, PC tried to bring it to my attention in private. He emailed me, “Jesus, woman. It’s “allowAnce”. We had this conversation.”
Bag.over.head. We talked about this already? Gah. I’m a dipshit.
So then, on Saturday in PC’s most recent episode, another kind soul tried to bring it to my attention. “Psst…PC, it’s “allowance”. You might want to fix your otherwise awesome banner.”
Ah, damn. Again.
Did I fix it?
What the fuck do you think?
PC sent this link to me tonight. And I realized I needed to address my error.
Can you spell “allowance?” – 25 (Btown)
The Personals Critic can’t. Just check the website where he spreads more of his bullshit, datewrecks.com. It’s right there, for all the world to see.
So I fixed it.
[APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE!]
And I ran the spellcheck on it this time. I was CERTAIN that I must’ve misspelled recommended. (Two c’s and one m? One c and two m’s?? FUCK.)
But yea, thanks for the free advertising, PC Hater numero uno. To all of you who came here via that post [frantic fucking wave]!
And I’m glad I fixed the banner. According to this Vermont Craigslister, PC has some pretty heavy artillery.
Picture of the Personals Critic! Have a look Ladies..
Wow..isn’t he delicious? LOLOLOL…
Mmmm… Tasty.
Of course, if you have been surfing the waves of the world wide web for more than fifteen minutes, you know this isn’t the PC. But it’s still fucking funny.
Hater-ade. Mmmm delish.

Heh, reminds me of “gamete” versus “gamut” the other day. Oh, well, the letters are generally arranged in a recognizable fashion here, so why sweat the small stuff?

No worries Jami, I still love ya. Like, a lot. And yes, I make spelling errors too.
Also, this is a good time to thank the Date Wrecks family for welcoming me aboard the way they have. Feels like I’m in good company here.

I really thought it was a picture of Russell Brand (with a few extra pounds) for a minute. I think I’d pay to see THAT movie.
Methinks PC posted a critique of someone who actually had enough brain cells to find his blog. Perhaps the smartest PC “victim” we’ve encountered???

I am totally, totally baffled that someone would hate PC enough to put up such lame complaints about him on craigslist.
(P.S. Thanks for referring to me as a “kind soul” rather than a “pedant”.)
