Dear Brain,

Quit capitalizing the word doctor when it doesn't refer to a certain Time Lord.   It's getting annoying.

Q: would you go with 'the Doctor' or 'The Doctor' in the middle of a sentence?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
lower case t. i.e. Have you seen the Doctor?

[identity profile] k-haldane.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's what I'd use. I just thought I'd ask, since it seemed to go with your post anyway.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it did, didn't it?

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
For me it's house. Even when I mean a place where people live, my fingers/subconscious tencd to come up with "House."

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I can see that happening too. Hey, I even have a vaguely appropriate icon!

Poor Wilson. :)

(Who only got one scene this week.)

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
It was criminal. Him and a duck and three seconds with Cuddy. Poor dear

I'm considering shipping House/Plumber since the plumber got more screen time than Chase and Wilson put together. (You have no idea how jealous the weird night janitor can get.)

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
and Plumber gave House his epiphany this week!

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly!

They could even have a cutesy smushname (and you know much I love those.)

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
I actually read a story the other day that had Owen calling the lovey-dovey couple Janto. *rolls eyes*

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Did you really have to tell me that? It was bad enough that House actually said "Fourteen" last night.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
*passes over donut bribe* Sorry. Yeah, that was *horrid* why did they have him say that? WHY?

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't KNOW! I mean we know they read the boards and they know we know, but I really felt that crossed some kind of line. Not meta, not even fanservice, just almost an admission of defeat maybe?

Glomps donuts. What exactly am I being bribed to do, by the way?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Forgive my horrible mention of that dreaded name.

I really don't think writers get fans AT ALL.

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
*HUGS*

All we can do is keep fighting the good fight. Although if I do post House/Plummer fic, I will call them Hummer.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
*cackles* You know the Plummer has to come back- the pipes were all rattly and shook far too easily

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
And we got a lot of nekkid House in this ep....If I end up writing this thing, you are getting half the blame. The problem is I'm good at the snark, but actually writing crack is very hard for me.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
*bats eyes innocently* Blame! Why would I get any blame!!

I might have managed crack. On one or two (or twenty or thirty) occasions. Maybe.

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I'll ask you to Beta. Then it will definitely be your fault.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
oh dear, I'm in for it now!

[identity profile] karaokegal.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Would this be a good time to use the icon?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'd have to say, yes

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
*giggles*

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
can't go wrong with that couple!

[identity profile] taffimai.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I thought they were trying to break the internet with the cute when they posted the video of them with their new puppy.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
that was ALL kinds of adorable!

[identity profile] secbeth.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
hmm it does see to be a wide spread problem!!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
evil Time Lord, getting in our heads like that!

[identity profile] secbeth.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
He's quite good at being popular.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
in that annoying, messing with your head sort of way

[identity profile] rustydog.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah yes, I do that too. Our darn fingers, forming habits all on their own!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to write about Owen and every single time it's 'I'm a Doctor." and I backspace and erase Doctor and type Doctor. then curse at the keyboard backspace again and guess what?

The Doctor's insidious I tell you!

(although, I am happy to see how many other people do it too!)

*cracks up* I do that so often. Um. Sometimes I also capitalize time. As in Time Lord.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! I'm in good company then!

I haven't capitalized time yet though. YET

[identity profile] aeron-lanart.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't just capitalise it when I'm typing/talking online though, I do it when I'm writing stuff up in work - "discussed with The Doctor" being a frequent occurrence in my nursing notes. Funnily enough, only a couple of people have noticed and they're both Doctor Who fans...

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
oops, in your line of work that might happen A LOT then!

All the Who fans should start doing it. It'll be a conspiracy!

[identity profile] aeron-lanart.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Partly it happens because I can't remember names, so every single Doctor on the ward is The Doctor - which means about 4 of them - so yes it does happen a lot. All of us 'in the know' as it were find it amusing and would find a Who conspiracy even more so.

Sadly one of the Who fans is leaving for Australia soon, but at least I managed to turn her into a Jack Harkness addict and a live journal lurker before she goes

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-01-21 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack Harkness admirers of the world unite! GO YOU!
