buzz, buzz

is 'bang' really onomatopaeic? like i know it is, but i think it only works with volume. like whisper 'bang'. its not soo bang-ish.

but you know what is banging?
you.
your banging.

i just grit my teeth and bear it when i see your instead of you're or their instead of they're or it's instead of its or ... or ... or ...

it's this service that's doing it to me. but maybe, seeing that other webbers can appreciate propah english, i might start friendlily suggesting these things too.

my dad, on the other hand, always sends me an email when i make up a word on my blog. which is noice.

love from leila

Dear Leila,
I think you'll find that the word is spelt 'proper'. Also I think in your last sentence you meant to use the word 'nice' instead of 'noice'. I'm not sure if it's a spelling or a typing mistake. Also capitalization of sentences is so crucial, I can't stress that enough!

i have a pretension about lack of capitalisation. it's my modus operandi, one might say.
