Spleling
I know my spelling and grammar are not to par. I KNOW THIS. I’m not perfect. But, I’m also pretty busy with other things. If you catch a spelling or grammar error on anything and decide to point it out, don’t expect it to change any time soon. Some disappointments we just need to live with.
I’m also not great at mathematics. I don’t think you’ll ever see me do anything without a calculator handy. A really good friend of mine had me do some simple subtraction on a piece of paper and laughed the entire time because I simply could not get it right. On the other side of it, she’s an awful speller and I actually trump her pretty badly on that! Just imagine how bad she must be.
We all have our strengths and, YES, I do want to improve my spelling and math skills. It’s just not going to happen over night.
None of these facts have anything to do with the points (if any) I’m trying to get through to you, the audience. I actually expected that people would harp on my spelling errors from the get go. It simply doesn’t bother me all that much. The only thing I ask is that when you point out that I misspelled something, please say something about the punchline, or the point of the comic as well. Tell me you hate it because I made a logical fallacy that I should not have made or because it was too gross and people shouldn’t be eating fetuses. Or tell me you love it because you agree with it somehow or found it entertainingly disturbing.
“Oh, and you misspelled ‘Spelling’, it’s S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G not S-P-L-E-L-I-N-G… maybe it was just a typo?”
Last point: Don’t you worry about not getting your comment approved. Unless it’s spam, I’ll most likely allow it.
