Sigh.

Posted by: Kim

Dear Gossip Girl writers,

Slander is defamation of character by spoken word. As in, not by publishing in a written medium, like in a newspaper or, you know, ON A WEB SITE.

You were going for libel. Um, duh.

ALSO, HAROLD THE LAWYER WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT OMFG.

XOXO,
Kim, Friendly Former Journalist and Wannabe Lawyer

I highly doubt the majority of people know/care about that.

But way to sound SO SMART LIKE OMFG.

I think many people know the difference, actually, and am kind of surprised a 'grammar elitist' wouldn't. And those who don't, you are right, would not have cared. They probably also wouldn't care that I posted about it, since they wouldn't have any idea what I was talking about. Sorry to offend, though.
