I said that to my mother the other day! I told her that if I wanted to live alone and never get married then THAT'S OKAY and SHE ACTUALLY SAID TO MY FACE: stop trying to be original, you're not being clever
DDDDDDDD':
SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE HER.
Ahahaha, JKR is a brilliant storyteller but she bloody well is not a good technical writer. XD It's not an automatic backspace trigger for me, but it does get annoying. I can't really think of many things that could make me backspace prose-wise, mostly it's to do with dialogue.
Someone mentioned elsewhere about the Britpicking issue and omg, YES. I mean, when you're writing about an English character in an American show/fandom (e.g. Eames) then, sure, I can live with that. But when you have Merlin talking about trashcans and jello and not having any clue on how anything in the UK works, then that's a backspace. And Eames would identify as ENGLISH, not British. omg, that drives me mad.
