      It looks like it’s got plenty o’ parts that would catch on your eyeball if you went to push your bangs out of your face, so I suppose it would be eye catching.

    I worry that we’re becoming a post-spelling-and-grammar society. Any jumble of letters will suffice as long as you have some idea of what you meant, and if others can’t figure that out, fuck them. I once saw someone using “assume” to mean “awesome.” I weep.

    Etsy is the only venue of its size that doesn’t have spell check on its listing form. The written word doesn’t rate on Etsy. Even the Halloween banner shows printed pages as materials used for crafting. And vintage books are sold for the color of the binding, not the contents since the author and title are never mentioned.

    Etsy — marketplace for the postliterate era (and some damn funny inadvertant potty humor)!

    I wonder if the seller of the i phone case doesn’t mean ‘defective.’ I suppose when you live in the land of cupcakes and lattes and no calling out, it doesn’t matter if you can actually spell.

    As someone who used to read dictionaries as a kid just to learn new words, I weep.
