I've got to be direct.. If I'm off please correct... you're standing on my neck...
La la la la la...
Er. Yes, I do watch too much Daria.
I'm home, I'm mildly hyper, and I've just posted to the House RR. Hooray for me!
But, honestly, I'm finally beginning to break. If I had two more hours in the day, I'd offer to beta peoples' RR posts. Because, frankly? Quite a few could use it.
I don't have a problem, if you're making a few typoes (Dex and his despite/dispite problems...). But... C'mon, basic GRAMMAR?
Okay, okay, I know some people are only just starting off. But that isn't an excuse to not read over what you have and check that everything reads correctly, is it?
*raises a hand* Hi, I'm Ana Cotton, and I don't always know the right grammar.
Now. Was that hard? No. I know damn good and well I need improvement on some things. Participles scare me.
Back to the beta idea. I almost did it for the AoA RR. Hell, I think Lynx/Sparks/me/Azzy all ended up half-betaing for each other. I know Epona ran stuff past me... Sigh. I guess I just wish more thought went into posts.
Not that spontaneity is a bad thing. But taking ten minutes to run the post through spell/grammarcheck and then rereading it yourself isn't that hard.
It's not. Honest.
*raises a hand* Yeah, it's me again. Hi, I'm Ana Cotton, and I almost never remember to spellcheck RR posts.
See? I do make a good little hypocrite.
Anyway. Bev is evil. I can't even guess more than three of the songs she posted. Ugh.
Ick. Work and school tomorrow. Joy.
Must sleep.
Night.

Actually, the House RRs do get a grammar/spelling beta from me as I compile. Because I can't handle all those squiggly read lines all over my Word documents. ;)
*snickers* Although sometimes it can be draining... Maria Cline's first RR nearly gave me an anuerism (sp?)
