Poerty in motion

[pallas_athena]

12 communities, and 442 (count them: four hundred and forty-two) LJ users, list poerty as one of their interests.

By contrast, the number of LJ users listing poetry as an interest is 455.

That's right... poets have poerts outnumbered by ONLY 13. The future of literature hangs in the balance.

Editing to add: Interest searches are fun. I've just altered my interest in "Anglo-Saxon" to "Old English" after discovering that an interest in "anglo-saxon" lands you with some verrrrrrry strange bedfellows. Yeeesh.

Boggling.

291 groups and 443 users = 734 list Nascar as an interest.

144 groups and 360 users = 504 list sodomy as an interest.

...I know I'm going to regret asking this, but do any of them list both???

Haha.

That is unbelievable! Could they all be vaguely friend-ish of each other and sort of going around changing their interests based on each others'? Could there be some sort of tongue-in-cheek meme? I am obviously clutching at straws so as not to face the reality of the situation...

Perhaps "poerty" is a new internet slang for the badly spelled, teenage angst ridden drivel that is so often posted as "poetry." It is nice to finally have a distinction.

this message will self-destruct in only slightly shorter time than my brain at the moment. And that's without reading any poerty. :p

female heathens?

Sounds right up your alley! :-D

And pardon me if I remain somewhat sceptical that shifting to 'old english' is somehow going to normalise your LJ bedfellows. I've met my brother.
