Okay, here we go with my biggest bugbear. For the film '10 Things I hate About you', an adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, we have the following reviews:
Shakespearien comedy re-made tragically.
Shakespearien pop-up book.
Althought 'Shakespearian' is sometimes accepted in most academic texts, the generally accepted term is 'Shakespearean'.
Then there's a couple of others: Shakespeare spelled his name eighteen different ways in his lifetime, but nowadays just one (Shakespeare) cuts the mustard:
Shakespeares shrew, hates you.
Skakespeare's Shrew for dummies.Shakspeare, love, money, songs.
I'll add more to this when I find them.
All fixed, I think.

Well, 'Shakespearian' is also cited in the dictionary; it doesn't just happen to be accepted in some texts. However, I too prefer 'Shakespearean'.

I did not say it was not 'accepted', it is. What I did say was that the generally accepted, or preferred, academic term is 'Shakespearean' - 'Shakespearian' will naturally be listed in the dictionary because, broken down, it is perfectly sound English (ie relating to Shakespeare, or a user of Shakespeare) - the point I was making was that 'Shakespearean' is the academically preferred version, and that it doesn't hurt to have some consistency.

In my house I only accept Shakespear. So if you can live with that you get a beer, if not, you leave 
Second thoughts, if anyone mentions Shakespear in my house, they will be thrown out!

Benj "fixed" the spelling in my review of "Steel"...but that sort of ruined the joke.
Since the film stars Shaquille O'Neal, I purposely wrote "O'Neal tries aqtion movies." To me, it just doesn't seem clever anymore now that it says "O'Neal tries action movies." It's rather dry and boring.
This isn't really a complaint and it's certainly not a demand. I'll leave it up to benj to decide what to do about it...if he prefers to leave it spelled "correctly," I can deal with that.

I could be wrong, but I believe that in his review of Annie Hall, rri1 meant to say "schlemiel". I don't know what a schmiel is.
As to whether or not it's the correct use of the word "schlemiel", I'll just say "close enough." I've learned to give Goyim a lot of leeway when it comes to Yiddish.
It's a pretty good review anyway. Does a good job of summarizing the film in four words.
