a note on spelling, etc.

Hi, this is Emily. Across this blog, I use a lot of British spelling. I do this because I went to university in Scotland, and I feel like that reflects my own personal experience most accurately. A lot of these thoughts I first encountered as I waded through all things Scottish and British, and the words of these thoughts were spelt accordingly.

However, for some pieces–like, for pieces firmly set in Pennsylvania or Vermont or whatever–I use US spelling because there’s simply no other way the words should be spelled. If I ever get the two mixed up, it’s because I just don’t really care. Don’t be twattish jagoffs about it. <3

also, my use of capitalisation is erratic.
