Bitter Libertarian Lady

I sweat the petty stuff. Lots of things make me bitter. Sometimes I need to vent. Offended? Don't take it personally, just skip to the next entry and realize that I've probably forgotten about whatever irked me then and found something even more trivial to rant about. Hugs and kisses.

Bloody American cads.

Ok, so I'm terrible at keeping this thing updated. Guess that's something for you all to be bitter about. But now on to better things to hate on, things like: pretending you're British when you write words like 'color' and 'theater.' Now, I have no problems with Brits, in fact, I think they're kind of sexy (minus the poor dental hygeine). Being as the English language orignated over there in good old England, I think they're well within their rights to spell things however they damn well please. So if you're a Brit, please, spell color with a 'u' and reverse the 'e' and the 'r' in theater.

If you're not a Brit, stop spelling things like a moron. It doesn't not make you look smarter to write colour. It's spelled color. C-O-L-O-R. That's 5 letters, no 'u' in sight. Don't like the way we spell color in America? Move to fucking Britain (if you can locate it on a map, that is, because if you need to write color with a 'u' to feel smart, you're probably not quite sure where Britain is).

I'm freaking tired of seeing people write colour and then pretend they are somehow more enlightened than the rest of the good old American public. I'm a college graduate, do you really think I didn't know that the original spelling of color had a 'u' in it? Do you think I'm going to see you write colour, ask why you added that weird curvy letter, and suddenly have an epiphany and bow down before your superior intellect? I didn't think so. So stop spelling things like an idiot and I will stop writing bitter blog entries about you.

Hugs and kisses,
