I would understand if foreign dialects—ones that are usually communicated orally—are misspelled. But in a country that teaches its own language in school, I thought misspellings would have been VERY rare.

they’re/their

I’m too irked to remember typos.
It’s thanks to searching desperately that I have found and read the whole Night World series after ten years of doing nothing about it. Well.. the whole of it so far. LJ Smith is taking her sweet, sweet time with the very last of the books, Strange Fate, saying that it will “hopefully” be out in winter of 2010.
Considering how the plot of the series has steered to the end of the world, I suppose she has had trouble writing the last book since the world didn’t really end at the year 2000. Then again, there’s still 2012. How creepy.
But still. Eleven years since the last book…!!! Eleven years waiting for closure with this teens book. >o>!
Communication does not come naturally to every animal. I speak in the very general sense because like humans, animals can also have trouble getting their ideas across.
That is why things die, or that is why people get into accidents, or that is why the American government is going crazy.
My psycho professor once mentioned to his class that communication was like a tennis match, or ping-pong. If you serve a ball, you’re expected to get it back. But what if there was nobody on the other side? Or what if that someone didn’t want to hit it back?
It was an easy answer, but my prof had to point it out to his class. Stop serving. What was the point of losing all your balls when you’re not getting them back?
But that also doesn’t mean you stop at the first serve, does it? If you do, that makes you an even dumber person.
Would it?
But of course, humans are stupid creatures. They can’t strictly abide by that notion, no matter how hard they force themselves to. They can surely train themselves to do it, absolutely. But in the end…
…in the end they’re still human.
Something is bound to go wrong, something is bound to make them break it.
And what of the other side of that tennis court? Does the lack of response mean disinterest, or does it say, “Try again”? How many tries would they want?
How many balls would you have?
