    Default Is this nit-picky?

    I just got annoyed by a girl on MFC who calls herself "Chasity Merlow."

    Not "Chastity Merlot"...no...she misspelled both names.

    I think I get annoyed too easily.

    As stage names go, I've got to agree with you that someone calling herself "Chastity Merlot" seems a lot more literate than a "Chasity Merlow."

    No...that's not nit-picky. Makes my eye twitch a bit.

    It could be a really clever marketing tactic though (she wouldn't be the first to use it). Get people all riled up and ready to call her a dumbass but then they get in and find out she's a sweet girl and the name is just ironic.

    "Chasity" always drives me crazy. I can never figure out if they're going for "Chastity" and misspelled it, or if they always heard the name "Chastity" pronounced without the first t, and don't know what it's supposed to sound like.

    On another board I once read a posting by someone who said she preferred the "Chasity" spelling because it didn't have a "titty" in it. She actually thought that "Chasity" was a "cleaned up" version of "Chastity." Some people are just nuts.

    ^ My faves are the ones who pronounce it with the "T" as in "moe-T". You're trying to be all suave and act all important and you can't pronounce the damn name...

    No it's not nit picky. It would annoy the fuck out of me. That's like people that say "wallah" instead of "voila". Like are you for fucking real? The disintegration of the english language leaves me in fear for the future.

    That kind of shit drives me crazy too. If it's nit-picky, them I'm nit-picky as hell.

    And who cares if it's nit-picky, anyway? It's your money - if a misspelled stage name/screen name irritates you, then move on to one of the other thousands of girls who would happily take your money while being sexy AND literate!

    I agree about the disintegration of the language...but the funny thing is, those people are unintentionally pronouncing Moet correctly...it actually IS pronounced "Mow-Ette"...although at this point, "Mow-Way" is so common that it's come to be accepted.

    And voila...I've actually seen people TYPE OUT "wallah."

    AGH! I could never be an English professor. I'd rip my hair out.

    ^ It's only correct if you're pronouncing the whole name, Moet de Chandon, otherwise I'm fairly certain you don't pronounce the T. Can't swear to it though.

    This also drives me nuts. Poor grammar drives me completely insane. I am easily annoyed when people write "netspeak" like ih8u2, r u y? When doing online dating I automatically deleted them.

    What? Not Chass-titty?

    Looked up the meaning of Chasity and it is a simplified version of Chastity (meaning, pure), and also a variant of Charity meaning generous love.

    Now apparently apostrophes pluralize words: "I ran out of idea's." I've never heard of such illiteracy before recently.

    The T. I learned by being called out on it and googling like a maniac.

    Chasity Merlow really must be a joke. Ew.

    No, not being picky. I can't stand it when someone screws up the phrase "I couldn't care less" and uses ''I could care less''. And my current annoyance is the phrase: ''just sayin''

    We have a girl dancing by Cherryty. I shit you not. I think she was going for Charity?


    ALOT ---> This annoys me. Also, when I was teaching English, I HATED when students would type their papers using text-spelling. It was sooo hard to read, I started telling them that I couldn't grade their papers unless they were typed to the best of their ability, not using texting.
