Someone mentioned SRW's odious 'Teen Witch Kit' ('Everything you need to make Magick!' um, no.) which prompted a trip over to Amazon, to see what the average joe thought of it. Not a lot, thankfully, but I ran into this gem:
I thought it was ok . But not worth how much it is . The spells are not that good and everything in it is kind of chessey . But I o think it is agood a kit to get exspecileey if you are a biginer like me . Blessed Be [name omitted to protect the undereducated].
This actually caused be to groan out loud. I am no grammar Nazi, but shit, people! You can only blame so much on typing too fast, not being concerned with such things, or whatever else excuse people have. If the thought 'Gah, this person is a moron' overrides whatever point you're trying to make, communication has not really occurred. Here's a good article addressing this sort of thing:
Ow, quit it!
