I am convinced that people on FFn are physically unable to spell. xD (That or like a disproportionately huge number of them have dyslexia .______.).

...

And this is in spite of the character tags provided by the website (which are spelled correctly).

EDIT: Too slow again.

ARE YOU SERIOUS! Even in the Title?!?! Thats insane...

Yeah, I really wish I could say that it only happened in isolated instances, but it doesn't. This one is one of the worst I've seen lately, but I'm sure there are others of this quality.

Featured character typos: "Kira", "Samba", and "Vatani".

PS I would offer up a drinking game where you took a shot for every typo in there but that would literally kill anyone who did it, so... not gonna...

^That... hurt my brain... That typing... that spelling... Oh dear lord... I'm not even English by birth or nationality, and I know English like it's my birth/nationality... I may have tiny flaws, but that's why we can re-read and fix them right? ._. ...

^ I honestly wouldn't even guess that you weren't English, your English is fine. But you're absolutely right. And I mean, I understand that typing English may be hard for foreign speakers, but this is beyond the point of 'a few grammar errors'. This is at the point where you literally can't understand what the author is saying. I don't want to be mean to people about their English, especially if it's not their first language, but this is just bad. Seriously, there's not a single quotation mark and there's only one period in the whole first chapter. I don't think there's even any capitals. WTF.

Not to mention that there are people who know English as a first language and still manage to make a ton of really basic grammar/punctuation errors. I mean, they understand that Spell Check and Beta-Reading is a thing, right? There's so many tools out there to help their writing, I honestly don't know why everyone on FFn as a whole seems so averse to using them.

HINT: THE RED LINES MEAN IT ISN'T SPELLED CORRECTLY.

*sigh*

Rant over, sorry. I had to let that out.

Over my like what.... 13 years of knowing English, I feel like I never had any other language but English. Much appreciated for that :'3 I still do have troubles knowing the longer words or some words that are same as others, but that's why we have dictionaries.

If they use the WordPad which is like a "improved" Notepad on Windows 7 (I dunno if it's on older versions), that one doesn't have those little red lines under. Then I wouldn't really be surprised, but if they thought like "Oh cool this is gonna be the best fanfiction", but I'm pretty sure there are some websites out there that do check your spelling. Fanfiction's document editor even has those red lines pointing out errors. If they went to school, surely their school must have been taught English :S but I'm not too sure, maybe English isn't even taught in some schools of the world. Even in their own language subject, pretty sure they should have been taught proper writing...

And rants are okay xD -- It's kinda why I tend to avoid those kind of fanfics, by the summary I could even tell it's gonna be a brain hurt.

Speaking of fan-fiction... I really gotta continue writing the one I have in progress currently... e.o ... I feel like I've abandoned something again. And this one is with what I am actually proud of D;

I hope I get to play some games before I go back home.

I've got to get up a little bit earlier tomorrow.

What? How could anyone dislike Fred and George Weasley and find them annoying and ugly?! You have to try really hard not to like them. I know that it's an opinion, but still…
