10. Why, thank you. I'd love to. I thought you'd never ask.
Just let me get a little more comfy. :)

4. I do! I'm from West Virginia...
that's the way we say it! So that's the way I sometimes type it. "Probably" takes too much effort. I'm tired.

12. Oh, now see? You went and hurt my feelings.
:) Actually, it's really more like the "Dept of Homeland Spelling Security", not the Gestapo. I'm here to keep you safe from 'terrists. They're everywhere. WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU! BOO!

11. Yes--and should I spell out Laughing Out Loud and Oh My God too?
IMO, there are certain allowances to be made for those sorts of things. I didn't know it irritated people until a while ago when it came up, and I think I've used it less. It still doesn't stoop to the level of looser's. :silly:

14. Some people spell loser "looser".
And some pluralize by putting apostrophe s. So instead of losers we get "looser's". OH it hurts. I know that some have legitimate spelling issues, but the apostrophe s to pluralize bewilders me.

That one bugs me too. On the same topic, it also bugs me when people misuse "too" and "to", as in "That bugs me to."

15. I hate reading "prolly" as much as I loathe reading
"your such a nice person" or "their nice people".
