Wow, I spelled "load" as "lode". And I've been having spelling lapses like that for quite some time. And I accredit that to my lack of reading. I know I should read a ton because not only will I seem knowledgeable and comsopolitan, it will also help me improve my writing and I won't feel like such a dork when I don't score 9s all the time (but I did score a 9) in AP Lit.

Shit. I have a lot to read. And then I would have further insulting and vulgar words to say other than shit.
