spelling bee-atches.
It never ceases to amaze me the stuff that people spell incorrectly. While I’m a firecracker of a scrabble player I’ll admit that I’m not a great speller, but that being said stuff like this (idiomatic foreign expressions that you think are innate in people’s internal dictionaries, but aren’t) will always make me laugh:
bare-legged freaks
I know that Tim Gunn has an aversion to leggings but even worse than leggings has got to be women who wear miniskirts without tights on a cold winter’s day.

Fetile Crack Syndrome Alert!
Helena Bonham-Carter and Tim Burton have been busy making babies movies and with that awful Sweeny Todd coming out soonish they’ve been making themselves seen.
