K, it’s spelled womAN, not women, when you’re speaking about one person. I can’t understand why soooo many people (mainly on facebook, shocker) can’t seem to distinguish between the two. It is such an annoyance! Learn how to fucking spell you idiots. —Ticked off Tuesday

if that’s the case then you must have some idiot friends on fb….
I don’t ever see this anywhere.
Whoa man…..calm down. I suggest the OP screen all FB pages 24/7 looking for typos and spelling mistakes until their eyes bug out.
Some people could be intentionally misspelling it. It’s all the rage these days.
I’ve always found that the only spelling I need to be concerned about is my own! Caring about other people’s spelling abilities or lack of takes too much time, energy and focus away from more important pursuits.

This is kinda grasping at straws here, but there is this horrible, awful show that I love to watch called the Real Housewives of New Jersey and everyone’s arch nemesis, Danielle, says “woman” instead of “women”. Like “These woman are so mean to me”. Maybe they’re just making fun of that? But you say it’s the reverse so I dunno…just typos.
HA could be worse, OP could be one of those feminists who claim “woman” should be called “womyn”
And a pen can’t be called a pen because is’s a phallic symbol/name. *eyeroll*
“woman” should be called “womyn” – Are you serious? Someone actually said that? Damm funny 😉
It was all the rage in the carefree 80’s Hugo – When the Sexual Revolution entered it’s Stalinist Terror phase. You don’t want to know what the fymynysts insisted we call cockroaches. >; )
Again Ivan, made me laugh.
I know what tonights avatar is going to be 🙂
merci ivan that was a high point in my day. tho getting mastiff hair and drool all over me was pretty sweet too…screee
Well I’m feeling like one of Sharpe’s “Chosen Men” from all my forced marching today.
“O’er the hills and o’er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
King George Commands and we obey.
Over the Hills and Far Away”
But then again – the 95th Rifles didn’t have the luxury of a Waterpik foot spa and tall cold glass of Stella.
Screeeeeeeee!
Lets just avoid this whole problem and refer to women as females and woman as female… Oh right, I forgot it’s not really that big of a deal.
Sitting around thinking “ARRRGH PEOPLE SPELL SHIT WRONG!!! ARRRRRGH!!!!” Is a waste of energy, just laugh at their stupidity and be done with it.
“Over The Hills and Far Away”, you say? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijH9YluKG3U
holy shit, i thought it was whoa-man? or sometimes even ho-man? okay o.p., i’ll bite, what is the difference, seeing as how you spelled them both the same, except for the capital AN, what gives, you brain dead from the cool air today?
that’s my tied for fave zep tune w/ houses of holy 🙂
I saw one of my colleagues spell “its” as “it’s” today and I so wanted to correct her, but I didn’t want to be rude. 🙁
