no tash it's true. i frequently make that mistake. anonymous is really just trying to make the world a better place...one gramatically/punctuationally incorrect being at a time...
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.
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!

How does an aussie girl wind up eating a falafel on the midday metro to Tahrir square? My parents were born and raised in Egypt, and yet I could never work out how to spell it.
I was a practicing solicitor, and yet I felt I hadn't found my career path.
It was time to put two and two together.
So. I quit the city job, hung up my suits, had one long last gaze at the glorious Sydney skyline, and never looked back.
And here I am. Living in Cairo. Student at the AUC, enrolled in the two-year masters course of International and Comparative Law.
Am I excited? UM NO! I'm terrified!

i have a pretension about lack of capitalisation. it's my modus operandi, one might say.
love from leial
again dude it's 'Leila' just kidding hahahah :P
i cant believe this post has gotten so many comments...
i can't believe more people don't discuss this subject. spelling and grammah, not onomatopoeia.
