Russian Crack and Poor Grammar Skills

Hey, it's only a little after midnight, and all appears well. Of course, I'm not long up from a lovely five hour nap. I do love naps. I heart them even. It's actually hard to tell whether or not I was sleep deprived, or if I napped as a result of finally locating a nice puff. Goddamn droughts. Regardless, I feel good. Tomorrow, when I'm napless however, might be a different story. Based on what's been available in this city lately, today's puff might as well have been Russian crack. Who knows, maybe Canadian crack would have been just as sufficient. But, there's something about how Russian crack sounds - way more intense than the friendly Canadian kind. But then again, I'm no crack expert. Did that sound racist? Will all the Canadians hate me? meh meh meh.

So, I've been, Jesus I can't think of the right verb to use here, ummmmmmmm....as clichéed as it sounds, surfing the web...mindlessly of course, seeking something remotely interesting to break boredom, and ended up finding someone's blog - with a list of do and don'ts for blogs. Sadly, I read several entries. Sure, there were a couple of good points made. Like bad spelling and poor grammar skills have the ability to make you appear stupid. This is actually something, I've kind of thought about for a while. Lame I know. But alas, it's one of my many character flaws. (I also have a tendency to make ridiculously, politically incorrect comments and throw out saucy one-liners.) Anyhoo, back to looking stupid.

Bad grammar and poor spelling secretly drives me crazy. I'm thinking that I'm blowing it a little out of proportion. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not going to avoid someone for not using the word "epitome" correctly, or spelling "they" as "thay", but it certainly draws my attention. Don't use big words you don't understand, unless you expect to look like an idiot. When communicating electronically, there is virtually no excuse for a spelling mistake with the tools that are available. Google the word, or GOd forbid, get off your lazy ass and pick up a dictionary (or search online, or within your word processing software, or within your search engine). Is everyone lazy? Haha, I say this with a pile of dishes post-nap and absolutely no intention of addressing them this evening. Maybe that's who I need to meet, bad-spellers with clean houses and we can trade tips. I may have just solved the caramel secret folks.
