People on this thread learnt me so much but shouldn't the title be "I can't take it no more"?

My automatic spellcheck underlines etc, unrepairable and perp, ignoring asses (used twice rather than access), so I suppose it's a spellcheck error; however, I think it's the author's error.

"If that isn't enough, if they decide you have caused physical damage (holes, chopped down trees etc), they can asses the cost of repair and unrepairable damage and charge you for that. I helped repair and asses one damaged site that cost the perp over $10,000."

Three times today, I've seen tittle, rather than title and not by the same person.

"...accentuate my plain fair..."

From a vegan describing going to a restaurant at great length.

BTW - this post was directed at someone in particular. Of course I know "learnt me" isn't right - it's "learned me."

Or just "fiction novel". I've heard that more than once, and it makes me wince.

I think the aspiring novelist meant "historical novel". I would give points for the aspiration to write, though.

I was speaking with a literary agent this weekend from a pretty well-known agency in NYC, and she used the term "fiction novel". I gulped a bit but kept my mouth shut.
