Fake cut WTF

[winter]

I've seen it in numerous places just today. A nice, normal LJ cut labelled as a fake one. WHY???

Come on, sing it with me. A fake LJ cut is a link bolded and enclosed in parentheses to look like an LJ cut. It uses the phrase href="http://www.whatever. If what you type includes lj-cut text="this is a fake LJ cut", it makes absolutely. No. Sense!!!!

This post brought to you by a missing newspaper and an Oriflame nail polish that refuses to dry. Oh, and four hours of sleep last night. I should start taking pills or something.

Guilty as charged. But to make you happy, I changed the text, because I'm so nice and all. :-P

Sorry, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back - I saw two on icon communities, and one on icon_tutorials just today.

But come to think of it... *grabs you* WHYYYYY?????

Honestly. WHY did you label a real cut as a fake one? Inquiring minds want to know. Well, one inquiring mind. Pretty please with sugar on it?

I hate to sound like a sheep, but honestly, it's the common term now. I don't usually say "(anything) cut"--usually it's some other smartass comment.

Don't worry about something so minor. Go. Drink your coffee. Think about pretty men. Write on one of your terrific stories. The day will soon seem brighter. ;-D

Here, I'll help. Enjoy teh Pretty!. If you want, there's More Where That Came From.

Feel better? :-D

But.... it's not logical... does not compute... *wibbles*

*clicks on link* *melts*

Thankyou. That's much better :D

(Really sorry. Just crazy today, must be the non-sleeping thing...)

Fake cuts piss me off.

I don't dig fake cuts myself. It's rather silly. As if I don't have to hover over the damn thing and won't see it leads elsewhere. Witty only once and now it's no longer witty at all.

I don't mind fake cuts - it's a neat way of combining crossposts. But labelling real cuts as fake ones? Takes the cake.

A real one as a fake one? >>; Yeah, I can see that being fairly annoying.

Perhaps they just want to confuse you?
