Another day, another gallimaufry

Via misscam, a link to this essay on the differences between fanfiction and plagiarism.

I want this. My life will not be complete without this in my kitchen. I totally need to credit that link and I didn't keep the original tab open. Sorry! Sing out and I'll put it in.

that is the most awesome measuring cup in the history of ever! "amount of plutonium it takes to make a bomb"! FTW

I pretty much think I need that measuring cup.

I totally want that measuring cup, especially now that I've seen the other side.

The 'Numbers' cup is pretty nifty too. And I want to get the million dot wall poster, cause that is just GREAT.

Oh man, I think my science loving sister would enjoy that measuring cup.

Tempted to order as I still haven't gotten something for her b-day

I need that measuring cup. I need it now. My kitchen has six different types of measuring cups (I'm oddly obsessed with kitchen stuff) but I don't care. I need that.

*cough* plagiarism *cough*


(Sorry !)

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Oy! Fixed.

Sorry - the proof-reader in my brain is rarely off-duty (though sometimes stunned into insensibility !)

I'm surprised I didn't pay more attention to the spellchecker. But then, it's one of those words that I incorrigibly spell the way I pronounce. "Definitely" is another, you'll probably have noticed.

*nods* Mostly I don't comment because I don't want to be an arse, but that one leapt off the screen and screamed in my face...

Best sort of measuring jug ever!

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I'll survive comments. :>

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

LOL OK !!

I'm a writer/editor IRL. Obviously, I'm not putting the same language and standards into whatever I whip off for the web, but I'm hardly going to have fits if someone points out I've done something stupid!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Well I once had a Blogging acquaintance chew me out and then refuse utterly to speak to me every again when I pointed out a typo in one of her posts, so unless I know someone pretty well, I mostly keep my mouth shut. Once bitten, twice shy...

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Oh, FFS!

Don't worry about it. Considering I put my stuff up for beta here before it goes out, I'm expecting concrit. (Mind you, when I'm generally writing, I'm not applying major standards. But I'm not going to freak when someone says "Yo, that's not right!")

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I'll bear it in mind then !
