Please educate me! What exactly are corn dogs?

I had always imagined them to be like what we call "Dagwood Dogs" or "Pluto Pups" but we can only get these at "The Show", which is what I imagine a state fair to be like.



I don't know anyone that could eat 2 Dagwood Dogs so I'm thinking I am completely wrong, or our dogs are just really big.

Actually, I don't know anyone who would really want to eat 2 Dagwood Dogs - once you get past the deliciously greasy crispy batter and the tomato sauce, you don't want to think about the mystery meat hot dog sausage inside!

Twilighted did audiobook-type podcasts of fics for awhile. I don't why they stopped; I think they were understaffed. I wish someone would start that up again. It was really enjoyable. Of course, I'm really into audiobooks, so maybe it's just me.

Haha, that's a classic. One that has been driving me nuts in the past couple of fics I've read is the apparent belief that then and than are the same word or can be used interchangeably. Not the case sunshines, back to year 2 with you to learn the rules of basic English grammar; Than is used in comparative statements and then is used as a time marker or to denote a sequence of events.

But here is my gem for the day:

"She was in complete oar of him." 

We need to keep a running list of these, we could publish a book.

Newbie question: What does "SPaG" mean? I get the gist of it, but what does the acronym stand for?

Oh, I see. My brain was being mean and thinking along the lines of "Stupid {and} Pathetic Author Goofs."  What is wrong with me today?

Well, that is what they are. SPaG is Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar and many of the mistakes that these authors make should only be made by children who are in Primary School and still learning the basics of language. Thereby that does indeed make them just as you said; "Stupid {and} Pathetic Author Goofs." I like it.

LMAO,  I could see you writing that with a cheshire cat grin on your face.   
Ladies, if you knew what I put poor ficfangirl through, you would be laughing too! Again, thank you...   

No, no - you saw the pinky swear, right?  Sometimes, when you've got the story flowing out of your fingertips, you can't slow down for little details like spelling, punctuation and grammar.  That's why you have someone else read it and make polite suggestions for revisions before you send it out into the world.  And you're welcome.
