I just didn't think you meant science fiction by SF (Usually see it abbreviated as sci-fi) Those of my friends who are seriously into the genre get very offended at the abbreviation 'sci-fi'. I don't understand entirely why this is, it's some kind of snobbism that doesn't mean a great deal to me. But I've been yelled at so many times for saying 'sci-fi' that I've dropped the habit.
I totally understand your frustration. :P Thank you, this is always a nice response to have to a ranty LJ post!
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
