    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

    So then, Doctor Who

    Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did

    Bloody Covid

    Fortunately not in the literal sense! But yeah, I'm currently stuck at home, yet not feeling well enough to concentrate on ponyfic. It's a seriously annoying combination. :pinkiesick:

    UK PonyCon report

    This is inelegantly copy/pasted over from the (slightly) nicer looking report over on Louder Yay. Of course, I'm sure you all read Louder Yay anyway because you're such great people, but just in case here's the report here as well...

Stop writing "per say", will you? · 2:00am Mar 27th, 2018

It's really annoying. And wrong. What you mean is per se. Unless of course you're writing a fic in which uttering the word "say" is a crime, in which case there might really be a fine of 50 bits per say.

Goodness, is that the time? ("Yes" -- Goodness.) I must be off.

Hey, I have Latin purists lurking in my comments every time I try even the smallest thing. It's educational though, and sent me on a voyage of discovery to to the Nicolaus Copernicus Museum in Frombork, Poland at one time. Interesting how small the world has become.

Look, there are so many of these rants to go on that I've given up. Like people who use the following spellings:
woah
ya'll
lil'

and the following phrases:
rising to a crescendo
could care less
between you and I

I’m blanking. What’s that one word that has probably about a dozen letters that people always think has a prefix that makes it into a not real word?

Shouldn't that be fifty bits per per say? :duck:

'til is on my list

That, and people who write "sike".

4826612
That's actually an accepted spelling, though. Till, til, and 'til all are.

could care less

...about the dress? Another count to add to Chrysalis's charge sheet. :flutterrage:

British style is generally to use words from one to nine, but to use numerals from 11 onwards. You can write either "10" or "ten", depending on which style guide you're following. (As an aside, it's also considerably more common in BrEng to write "between five and 50 employees" than it is to write "between five and fifty employees". The latter form isn't incorrect in BrEng, but it looks decidedly old-fashioned these days and isn't what you'll find in British newspapers.)

And as for people writing "phase" when they mean "faze"...

I was more concerned with the missing per, but I think you mistaking what I was nitpicking only adds to the joke.

Okay, you win this thread. Perfect. :rainbowlaugh:
