argh

I'm having trouble writing today. Nervous about my interview tomorrow. I did get about 5 pages done before my brain decided to shut down mid-sentence. I don't have the attention span to post icons right now, either. So. Pet peeves.

1. "Alright". It's NOT a word! "All right" is two words. This has driven me crazy for years. You don't see people write "alwrong"...it's the same thing.

2. Fanfic writers who turn Vala into a charicature. She is not shallow. She is not amoral. She is interested in other things besides a quick tumble, and she CARES about people. If she was shallow and amoral, Daniel wouldn't think twice about her. At all. And just once I'd like to see a fic where she doesn't burn the meal. Just once. Not that I haven't written "Vala ruins the meal" too...but just once. Someone. Please.

3. "Alot". See #1; replace "alwrong" with "alittle".

4. Five BILLION selective color tutorials on LJ, most of which do exactly the same thing, and almost none of which provide anything other than a list of settings, no explanation of concept whatsover.

5. That is all. Thank you for your attention.
