While I'm peeving

Dear Fandom:

'Discrete' is NOT a fancy way to spell 'discreet'. It means something completely different. Indeed, the two terms are entirely discrete (separate, distinct) from each other. When you mean 'circumspect' or 'subtle' or 'keeping your mouth the hell shut', you mean 'discreet'. Please stop confusing the two, before I am forced to go on a highly indiscreet tri-state shooting spree.

In other news, 'indiscriminate' behavior might lead to an 'indiscretion', but there is no such thing as an 'indiscrimination'.

In conclusion, 'arousal': STILL NOT A BODY PART.

Oh, fuck it, I think it's time to post my File O Hilarity.

I think I'm completley guilty of using the word "arousal" as a body part. I'd have to check, but I think it's one of my Sins.

The thing is, EVERYBODY does. It's so common that it might a well be legal. Except that it gets the hell up my nose.

Please note that it's perfectly legal to say that a character can feel the other's arousal. He just can't, you know, wrap his hand around it.

*cough*

You see, now I have to go back and check if I've done that or not. You're right, of course, and now you've said it, it's bugging me too!

A convert! A convert! Maybe I should think about starting my own cult.

I love how your icon is so subtly passive-aggressive. XDDD

I like to think of it as "discrete".
