I'm 40, the cute girl from upstairs is 23. When she stopped by to commiserate about loud neighbors, we had a beer, went dancing, and then had sex. Afterward, she seemed weird and left abruptly. I wrote her a note, "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, but I love you and look forward to seeing you again." She hasn't looked at me since. Where did I go wrong? -- Mr. Neighbor
Grateful as you may be to a girl for having sex with you, it's never a good idea to let on. You could've had a future with her -- the kind 40-year-old guys without handfuls of bling typically have with 23-year-old girls: jump-starting their cars, lugging their couches up four flights of stairs, and maybe catching a little action when there are no hot young guys to be found. You blew it, though, with "I'm a lonely sack of emptiness!" -- which is how "I love you" translates after one beer, one dance, and one roll in the sack. (You say "I love you"; she says "It seemed like a good idea at the time.")

where're my love beads?
I could only master one language!
Cannot for the life of me speak another language, and you've got three under your belt.
I am humbled. :~)

As an English major and lover of words, obvious mistakes in grammar bother the hell out of me. Don't trivialize what I find important, please. There's a difference between being a word-o-phile and being a pedant.

If you are going to respond to what someone says, respond to what they say. Don't exaggerate and extrapolate from it, then trash it.
That's a general principle, not intended for you to take personally.

"I'm aware of it, and English is only my third language in terms of fluency.
Funny, Troy Aikman said the same thing about me when we were having lunch the other day. Or was that Catherine Zeta Jones? Silly me, I get my friends mixed up sometimes.

I once spelled "pedant" wrong, and whenever I acted up, got accused of being a "pednat."
Which brings up another subject concerning online criticism. People have so many inside jokes that it is hard sometimes to know if someone is deliberately spelling something wrong.
Whenever I see someone spell "loose," I don't know if they are an idiot, or trying to be funny. It's a hugh and series problem.
