ahh, my pet peeves let me show them to you

So I just came across a story announcement for a WIP and it seemed interesting from the author's notes, but then the author referred to the part as "chappie". And no, just no. Don't do that. *sporks* (similarly "ficcy" should be forever banned as well)

Yes. I would have checked it out but "chappie" is just so grating. Even if it wasn't a fairly reliable omen of bad things to come in the story, the word itself is so awful. It does not help that it is a well known dog food brand here either.
