 | No fucking way am I taking the rap for this one.
I admit that once -once - I happened to comment on the irony of dear Digitaltrickery bemoaning the tyranny of the Plebeian mass while miscuing "Plebeian". Because it was funny. But I object to being painted as some kind of dry-mouthed grammatistos.
Besides, they are not "aberrations". A miswriting style can be as distinctive as a writing style. In the post the comment above refers to, for example, a nitpicker might identify a handful of "errors". But these "errors" give us a portrait of the artist. Didge is a go-getter. He posts hard and fast, and doesn't re-edit. Once it's on the page, that's it. He has faith in his abilities. Maybe, as a result of this, sentences occasionally miss main verbs or particles get mislaid, but blogging is Hell, soldier. And if you can't work it out for yourself, you have no place in this man's army.
Compare and contrast dear old er33t, who here delivers a slew of typos and grammatical errors, yet inexplicably gets "paedophile" dead on first time. Most peculiar. But again, highly distinctive. Style is as distinctive as a fingerprint, or more precisely a game of Guess Who.
Does he fail to put the "h" into "whet your appetite"?
Yes
Click. Click. Click.
You've spunked my battleship.
