Some rec'ed a story to me the other day - can't remember what it was, it was Snarry. Something about going to "Los Vegas". Los? I immediately hit the back button.

In due South fandom, I used to see Frasier (instead of Fraser), Welch instead of Welsh, etc. etc.

We all have issues with a word or two (well, most of us do anyway!). The dictionary is your friend. So is a friend who has the balls to tell you, "Hey, you really need to check your spellings."

I've been accused a time or twenty of being a fic snob. Fine, if the fact that I want things spelled correctly, I'm a snob. I'm not talking about the infamous teh and things like that - I'm talking Hary Poter type misspellings. :)
