(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Alumenium...

Heh. I've actually gotten points off for using the British spelling on reports and such. I am told it is an "older" spelling. British spelling and accents are cool.

You'd be surprised at how many words you consider to be proper started as slang and lower class... If a word gains wide recognition and understanding in the english language in its nation of use, it is a valid English word.

speaking of English slang, there is a word that starts with an "f" that means "cigarette". That's something you don't go around saying when you're over here in the USA heheh.... XD
