Grr!

What is it with people misspelling names all the time? Turning Jensen into Jenson, Ronon into Ronan and - my favorite - Sentinel into Sentinal makes me very irked!



SGA fic rec:
MCSHEP --> "Soul and the Company" series by [livejournal.com profile] leahwoof. John is an android on the run that hides at McKay's, pretending to be his PlayMate. This is not a humorous crack!fic. It's angsty and sad and although it does have a happy ending, it made me sniffy and teary-eyed. Words: 80.000+.



So many comments to respond to... so little time! *head/desk*

People cannot spell. This is an established fact of life, and one that is the cause of deep sorrow for the few that can, alas.

I just don't get it. I mean, English is my third language but I do my best to use proper grammar and spelling, especially with names. I know that I misspelled Joe Flanigan's and David Hewlett's names a couple of times but when I realized that, I started to be more careful. It just boggles the mind that English native people can't spell. How can they even pass their classes? Here, they would be stuck in one year until they learned proper spelling - or grew old ;P
