Spelling

[ghost2]

Is there some alternate universe where woah has become the correct spelling of whoa? Just asking.

yes. it's called the internet. :)

*is also slightly annoyed by the new spelling as it just looks bloody weird, but ah well...language is a frightfully chameleonic beast when you get right down to it*

I can't stand woah. It's wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I tolerate Tardis and alright, but I draw the line at woah. *headdesk*

lolcat land?

Your processor Snape icon is priceless.

Well, it does work in lolcat land. Not so much in regular writing, though.

When I was hunting for new icons, I just had to include the Snape one.

My sister used it the other day and I went "Whoa! What's going on!"

It's really bizarre and very irritating...

I know! It might seem like a picky thing to dislike, but it just gets on my nerves.

I personally think that "woah" should only be used in appropriate context, for instance in "liek woah."

Yes, it works in that context. Which is not where I saw it, in two places, the other day.
