I 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...
