But in the interests of fairness, I think I'd have to say that it should be a 'one rule fits all' policy. Of course, you can always *think* what you like... ;) Well… women are primarily judged & valued by appearance in our society, whereas men are judged & valued by status and skills, so calling a man fat may not be such a body blow.

I've tried this and it lasted a while, but then I slid back into bad habits. Will be inspired by you and try again. As for judging people on their grammar and spelling, I totally reserve the right to do that! ;) Oh you are so right! I’ve tried this and it lasted a while, but then I slid back into bad habits.

I admit my 'abit', 'alot' etc. post was inspired by a blog by a PROFESSIONAL, very successful published writer who used both terms wrongly and I did judge her because of it, but I think that's justified! I don't like it when people have really bad spelling and grammar, but I'm not perfect myself and I'd never not like someone because of it. x You mean you think *I’ve* done that??

But then again I don't think you should judge someone on their grammar or spelling either! x I agree it’s wrong to criticise anyone about their appearance and women are other women’s worst enemies when it comes to that.
