I admire your self-control. If someone did that to me, I would probably send them an email along the lines of “It’s none of your business how I write on my own blog so just get the hell off my case!!!” So, I applaud you!

That's one healthy Fisking right there.
When friends of friends see an article of mine and there's some minor grammatical grey area, they're straight on the interweb to inform me that that 'that' should be 'which'.
Or something.

Re-not spelling right in the UK. This.Really.Infuriates.Me.

Yes, we *do* spell correctly, it's how *we* spell it. Grrr.

And that's all I have to say on that matter hehe.

Hmmm, actually, it hasn't been appearing on my friends page either, Leigh – I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Will check it out and see what's wrong. If, of course, I can work out how to do that

Everyone else – thanks for the support. I am determined that this is the last time the idiots get to wind me up, but still, you never know! As Gemma says, no matter how hard you try, it still gets to you sometimes – especially the "Y'all don't spell right in the UK!" comments. Grrr!

Sorry, this is O/T but is there a problem with your feed? Your entries haven't been showing up on my friends page for weeks now (not that I mind coming straight to your blog, obviously ).

It never fails to amuse me how awful the nitpicking can be, and it doesn't matter how thick-skinned you try to become, it still hurts. The sarcastic corrections of English into American English always make me laugh. Especially the one on The Bag Lady about us 'constantly misspelling' the word jewelry as jewellery. Ummm…

I'm going to email you the comment that I deleted off Shoewawa the other day, it might be good for a laugh.

Bravo Amber!

Hear hear.I can not believe that "perfect person" had the temerity to tear you apart like that when their grammar is far from perfect.It's laughable, it really is.

I despair of people like this, seriously. Despair. I had someone post on my freelance blog telling me |(after reading my review of The Magic Numbers' new single) that I obviously had "no clue" about music, and that I obviuosly had "really bad taste". What???! I posted back saying please refrain from posting personal attacks.

So, rest assured you're not alone hun
