If you are pretty sure you can't spell a word, and you don't look it up, it is kind of lazy. A typo is different. That is accidentally hitting the wrong key. Did I EVER make a claim that I am NOT lazy? I reserve my right to be lazy about looking up words. There. [;)] You may typo all you wish...and laugh when I mess up a word if I may also have the right to a chuckle when you typo at a moment when doing so would be...funny. [:D] I wasn't going to laugh, cuz that would show poor manners, but since you brought it up I couldn't resist. All in good fun, as these message boards are supposed to be.
You do not have to be INTO reading celebrity gossip to know who those people are. I couldn't care less if Lindsay Lohan moved to Mars...but I know who she is. Like her or not, she is in the news and on the covers of magazines. In grocery stores, I do not look at magazines. I have too much on my hands already, either watching over my 70 year old mother who is pretty deaf and has always had ADD, or else my son, who is high functioning autistic and is prone to panic attacks if I don't keep a careful eye on him. Mom likes to mix her stuff all up with mine, in my cart, because she's just quirky that way and I am busy spending my time at a register separating our stuff.
A lot of magazines have hot barely covered tits and ass shots of celebrity females...and since I'm not even bi-curious, what would be the point of looking? Why would I want to know who's boinking whom, who cheated on his wife AGAIN, and who is being arrested for drugs or drunk driving AGAIN. I'm 46...and was reading Teen Magazine when I was a teenybopper. It gets very old hat soon. Unless maybe...if you have a dick. Tits never go out of style, do they? Now if there were older, nice looking men who weren't caught in scandals, but caught being decent and kind and honorable, yes, I'd perv those and change my ways.
I'm not a tv freak. The only time we watch normal tv here is Saturday morning...for the cartoons. I'm serious. I prefer watching things I bought like DVD movies and old tv show seasons. If I want to know news, or who is in the news, I'll buy a newspaper or come here and see what is being furiously debated. That latter would be more well rounded than any biased cr*p I could get from my tv, and yes, I go to links and read from online newspapers when my curiosity is piqued.
If memorizing people in the news gives you any sense of really what's going on in this world, and that you have any control of anything, then I'm happy for you. I, on the other hand, know how insignificant I am in the grand scheme of life. If I want to make a difference, I DO SOMETHING, and not merely watch life passing me by via tv, news, internet, and magazines.
Sure, you only look up stuff that interests you. But if you are taking a quiz, and an unfamiliar name comes up, you might want to. It takes no more time to that than to type that you don't know who thus and such is. You are right in this. If a quiz interested me, I'd look it up. Unless looking it up would be cheating. [;)] A quiz is a quiz, right? I never even saw your quiz, since I'm rarely in that area of the boards. Make one on men where I have to match the ass to the celebrity and I might be interested. I love asses...just not people who behave like them. (I'll have to qualify that to say it ain't so when I'm bored. Someone acting like an ass can be very amusing when I need a distraction.)
