Who, me? Naw... I'd never do anything like that!  Hehe... I do get a bit flustered though when you have parkinglot written 20 times in a story when it's supposed to be parking lot (two words). Also livingroom is two words. Sometimes it seems that once you use a word like that, it appears LOTS. I don't mind though because it IS my job as a proofreader to fix it, but... if you actually learn something from your mistakes, it makes it totally worth it for me.

You know what I hate, Tina?  I hate when people think they can get away with spelling a lot alot. Even my teachers do that!  lol Just had to share on the discussion of not spelling things right. |

i sometimes do that. i know its two words but I dont know why it comes in one you know whats weird for me? at school they teach us color takes a u (colour) and it's the case for some other words. At first it was okay for me. Until I discovered you americans don't write it the way we do! now I'm all mixed up hehe I now write the american way |

Sarie also does that, Nikki! Heck, I've had to stop myself from doing it a few times. Hey Mae, I don't pay much attention to the different ways different countries spell words like color/colour or humor/humour because those are really both right; just different ways of spelling.

oh yeah forgot about humour haha yeah it means the same thing but because I'm canadian and we belong to England we have to write like them but because we live near the us we write like them instead so confusing hehe (honestly I never noticed until I had a class of history of the United States and the teacher told us hehe)
