UPS decided to do the origin scan after midnight so that they're 3 day select could arrive on monday, despite the shipper processing the order on Tuesday.

This is so not helpful. It's not that I don't kow, it's that I don't notice. Please see clause 1 of my user info:

The first thing you should know is my spelling is horrid. It's been a bane of my existsance all my life and I'm quite bitter about it, so if you are going to read my posts, it's best you develop a mental filter to automatically decypher both my spelling and my typos.

Normally, if I'd noticed on my own I would fix it, but in this cause because I've had it pointed out to me in my own stupid journal, where I could hope I could be free of people pointing it out and reminding me of what poor command of I have of the english language and of my fingers, I'm not going to bother.

I did read that. And I'm certainly familiar with deciphering your special typing style :) But I thought that only applied to typos. This is just the wrong word entirely.

No, this is a slip of the fingers. I live my life almost entirely on muscle memory and instinct. My brain has lossy compression and gives phonetic instructions to the fingers. It's a typo, or do you really think that I was thinking "they they are 3 day selection"? I know what the abrivation means. I know the difference between it's and its too. and affect and effect. These things have been blasted at me more times that I can count because I have such inacurate ways of writing. It actually bugs me more than being told I've misspelled a word that I didn't know I'd misspelled. At least that is new information. This plays more out like "hey moron!" which because I know you, I know you aren't saying that, but it's how it feels.
