For old times sake: Jem and the holograms

[Vetinari]

oh the regions don't have any technical reason for existing... It's purely so the manufacturers can make more money, after all, if you could buy an identical dvd in china for 1/5 of the price than it would have been in europe why would you bother?

Lamia, you know Lif and I are from the Netherlands right..? English is not our primary language. We do our best but it'll never be like speaking/writing Dutch.

I know

But would you rather be corrected, or not know that you made a mistake?

(And, trust me, some people who speak English as their first language don't speak it as well as you do... on the internet, at least.)

I myself prefer to be corrected. If you were talking to me I'd probably have said 'Thanks' because I'm a perfectionist and I want to know when I make mistakes, so I can learn. But it concerned my friend and I got a big overprotective there I think

Your to much of a sweetheart

I updated my profile so everyone could know I am not English by birth. So I have an excuse to type rather strange sentences or words XD
I try to type correct English though. Same as in the Dutch language. I think theres much to be said about writing it correctly because you can make another person understand you better when you do.
I see it happening in the news in the Netherlands all the time now these days. Even journalists can't type things right or make strange sentences or even write one thing and then write completely the opposite in the next part of the story in a way that makes me wonder if they know what their doing with dutch language at all (and they should cause I know a bit about the things they should have learned when they were going to school to become journalists as my son is looking to take the same path). Wether it is because they just copy and past or do not read back what they typed...I am not sure. But I think its such a loss for everybody if this keeps happening.
For my mistake tho, I seem to make these silly mistakes all trough the things I type these days. And the stupid bit is, I do read back what I type...and I seem to just read over it or something.
The other day I was typing the name of one of my favorite tv series and I typed "sons of energy" if this was a freudian misstyping on my part (as I lack energy these days thanks to depression) I don't know but I also missread it when I read back. Then after a bit I for some reason read the word "energy" and then I saw what I had typed!
It was supposed to be "Sons of Anarchy"!

You still type better than a lot of people in America. Just look at comments on You Tube where people can't even make a coherent sentence. I have a moderate tolerance for spelling mistakes, especially if they are phonetic or mix letters up. I get irritated with grammar mistakes and people who don't bother to learn the difference between your and you're or there, their, and they're. I learned those in grade school.

To get back to all things Jem and dolls between Obitsus, Monster High, Barbie, and other easy to get dolls who would you use or reroot to make Jem characters out of? I think the hardest would be Synergy's purple skin, outside of Operetta Monster. I have a green haired Obitsu that could work as Pizazz and the blue with a perm could do Stormer.
