Oh WTBH, I do think we're secretly twins.
I have a poster on the wall of my office. It says "I don't judge you by the color of your skin. I judge you by your spelling and grammar."
I've told my kids that if I ever find them using "text speak" when texting, I will take their phones. I broke up with a guy once because he couldn't spell and was mixing words up (like effect/affect). And he said ek-cetera and ex-presso. And horse ovaries (hors d'oeuvres). I wanted to slap him every time.
Of course, you do realize that
perfectionism is one of those nasty little buggers codependents often struggle with? I know I do. I stopped taking the newspaper because I was late for work marking up all the mistakes I found in it.
