Raaaaagh. (words)

Ms. Hamilton? 'alright' is not, and has never been, a word that should be published. It is a word that is used by teenagers who don't know better, and in rare instances of dialect. The word you were looking for is 'all right'. You could have made your book easier for me to read if you'd gone through and randomly had every instance of one particular commonly used word or short phrase bolded or set off with a neon yellow highlighter for no particular reason.

You idiots writing those e-mails and Ms. Hamilton? 'Sperm' are the little wigglies that get one pregnant. They are contained in 'semen', which is that white goopy stuff that werecats and werewolves would be sniffing for, and sluts would be bathed in. If those studs had bothered to get a vasectomy, as male adult models would probably be wise to do, that slut would not be having a sperm bath.

I have totally hated her last few books on the Anita Blake series...she is going down hill in a jet pack! It pisses me off.

They were interesting to begin with, but I've never regarded them as great writing. Her work in Star Trek didn't really thrill me either.

Heh, I tend to deliberately use 'alright' - and it is in the dictionary (at least some). I started using it years ago specifically because I like the mutation of language and there were some people whom it tweaked.

I'm as much a language conservative as my father is, though I've bent on the "yeah" issue.
