Okay, I got an email today that pissed me off. And I think I sent a rather too-grumpy email back. Sorry. I’m sure cosmic forces will smack me in due time.

I’ve written and rewritten thoughts about this. And every time, I get clearer-headed and realize I really shouldn’t bitch.

But this email I got today takes the cake. Somebody told me that half my OC quotes were wrong. At least I think that’s what they said. The misspellings were abundant. And punctuation was not a friend.

And it’s been bugging me (obviously). Why would a person send that? Just a broad criticism about something I put a lot of money and work into. I check and recheck quotes every week. Half are wrong? HALF?

If you’re going to level that accusation, prove it. Better yet, if you’re not happy with my site, go to the official OC website. They have quotes. And since they often make mistakes, email them as well.

I did an approximate count:

293 quotes on The OC’s first season (not counting the ones that appear on character pages but not on the main page)

237 quotes on The OC’s second season (not counting the ones that appear on character pages but not on the main page)

530 quotes on one TV show. Holy crap I have no life. I had no idea I had so many. In theory, I actually have maybe over 700.

So, that means that 265 of them are apparently wrong.

I’ll get right on that.
