unsolicited advice, knowing your words
Dear reviewers, if you ever want anyone to take you seriously you need to get your funny words and sayings down correctly. Otherwise, people are just going to point and laugh. Here's a couple common mistakes you should avoid:
It's not "hammy down" it is hand me down. Good people might mistake your used car for a breakfast sandwich and that would just lead to unhappiness for everyone!
It's not "walla!" but "voila." (I'll even forgive you for leaving out the accent mark.)
When talking about scents, you want to say "reeked" instead of "wreaked" unless you opened that bottle of perfume and a Spartan sprang out to smash your chairs and rip up your carpets and skewered your lap dog on a spear.

Anyhoo, I was wondering if, what with you joining the Good Ship Excolo, and having some mutual friends and interests if you would like to be friends. Don't worry if not - I won't, like, poison Arkady with an evil fish or something. ;)
