Took another quiz, which I found on chriswife's page.


Where Did Your Soul Originate?
brought to you by Quizilla

Am I the only one who gets the near-uncontrollable urge to correct the spelling on these things? There was one I saw a while back which consistently spelled "their" as "thier." In this one, I particularly liked the phrase, "in the Bowls of Hell." Where would that be, exactly? Satan's crockery cabinet?

AH! A kindred spirit! :)

You mean, with the spelling thing? It's a curse, I tell you, a curse.

I have many spelling peeves! As a fic reader, my biggest is Summery. If a writer can't get the word Summary right in the headers of a story, I don't bother reading any further. It looks mean in writing here, but it is just something I can't get past.

My 2 cent

Apparently I come from the sea?


But then, the options on eye colour, my answer should have been none of the above, my eyes are green/brown/hazel an option which wasn't there. And hair colour, can we say dark brown/black AND curly?

As for spelling, I can't but I hate it when a story gets through with spelling errors even microsofts spell check could have found!

I dunno. I tend not to read stories that heven't been spellchecked. SO my favorites are the people who use the wrong word--preferably if they do so consistently. The other day I saw "isle" for "aisle".

The hair/eye thing was a bit off on me too.

I think the Bowls of Hell is totally worthwhile.

I snorked mightily.

It's like the time my brother was struck by the "random ham of Fate."

You just can't find good comedy like that with perfect spelling.l

Oh, yes, it cracked me up, too. That's why I had to share.

But in general, the urge to send back people's online quizzes covered in red ink can't be the sign of a healthy mind.
