I don't know why people can't see it written and just... spell it that way!! :-P<br /><br />One thing that annoys me is when people take a quote that one of her character's says and twists it to prove that she wasn't a good author, without looking at the context. I know one girl who is ADAMANTLY anti-Jane ( :-) ) who took Mr. Knightly's quote about surprises being inconvenient or whatever, as "another proof against Jane Austen". :-S <br /><br />Oh! And when people think "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" (or whatever that is) and think Jane Austen wrote it. :-S !!!Elinor Dashwood/Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233456173816940821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-89679878457987962472010-06-04T16:37:13.984+10:002010-06-04T16:37:13.984+10:00Some people think Jane was "mean" and &q...Some people think Jane was "mean" and "sarcastic" in her writing.

And please come back to my blog, LOL! :D Janeites (like me) carry on a lot about stupid things (like the correct spelling of Elizabeth Bennet's name), but our bark is always worse than our bite, to use a hackneyed phrase (wouldn't Marianne Dashwood disapprove! :P). ;-)<br /><br />And thanks for that suggestion, I'm going to check it out right now.The Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184804847476554759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640277016633958889.post-85851298429635412252010-06-03T19:49:55.206+10:002010-06-03T19:49:55.206+10:00+JMJ+

I feel totally unworthy to comment now, because I have thought, for the longest time, that Lizzy Bennet's name is spelled "Lizzie Bennett"!
