brainofckI have been reading Days of the Week over breakfast.
Excellent! Funny! Very well written. Refreshingly mocking take on the cliches of Stargate slash. Maybe a little crude for me, but I don't think any worse that The Diaries' obsession with Jack's piles.
And it contains the new, trendy typo.
"I feel rather than see the shutter that passes over him. "
A shutter is a covering you put over a window to protect it from bad weather. Or a part of a camera that controls how the film is exposed to light. :) The necessary word is obviously shudder.
This is very odd, as the writer is very good.
I had never seen this typo until about three months ago. Now almost every story I read has it. I wonder if there's some bug in some new version of Word or something...

Date: 2006-10-13 04:42 pm (UTC)I sometimes try to find if the author has ESL, then I feel more forgiving. If they throw in other stupid stuff-I'm having trouble thinking of one I didn't acually just read-but like screwed up timelines or too much OOC behavior, I mentally put them on my 'do not read again' list.
Another one that always bugs me is deep-seeded. Aargh!
I don't think you're jaded, I agree with you in general, just not this instance.
People shouldn't take their knowledge of the english language for granite *g*
