Actually kind of sounds normal to me. I work with people who use this type of vernacular. Again, drives me freakin' crazy. I'm always saying that, aren't I? I don't like people very much. Stupidty works my last nerve and ignorance is a close second.
Haha - I sure does like reading your blog. I get asked "do yous guys have..." all the time - because adding an s to you makes it plural, or something. Apparantly. Wait til you get text language added to notes...not shorthand, but teenage txt spk. Xlnt fun 2 dcifr!
Kind of- but not really :-) related to your post - how we quickly we read and autocorrect ourselves....Count every " F " in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
How many F's ? There are 6. The reasoning behind this is apparantly the brain cannot process "OF". (Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is (possibly!)a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare....:)
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I wonder why it takes most of us couple of passes to catch on?
word verification: "hypershe" - there are just too many joke for this one.
Unchained: The brain does have a remarkable ability to 'filter' out mistakes... it's a normal part of becoming an efficient reader.
Have you read the 'Sdtyu fmor Hvrarad'? Even if the letters from each word are jumbled up, you can still read them, though much more slowly.
I sho 'nuff does

No amount of screaming seems to get through to people that the King's English is not to be messed with.
Maybe because we don't have a King?
