I try very hard to refrain from correcting the appalling spelling that finds its way to this board, but I will at least ask that people's names be spelled correctly—especially by their fans!

So, it's:

Jeffrey (not Jeffery) Sebelia
Michael (not Micheal) Knight
Laura Bennett (not Bennet)
Uli (not Ulli) Herzner (not Hertzner)
Heidi (not Heide or Hiedi) Klum
Michael Kors (not Koors, Korz, or Korse)
Nina Garcia (well, that one's usually correct, but I didn't want to leave her out!)
Tim (not Tom or Timm) Gunn (not Gun)

Oh—and it's

Nazri (not Narzi or Nazeri)
Marilinda (not Marlinda)

I won't even bother with the correct spelling of the often misspelled names of Those Who Have Been Auf'd.

Mother Hubbard (has left the spell check)

Yep, I lived on Gravier, just outside the Quarter for awhile. I still miss so much about dear NOLA--what I wouldn't give for some cafe au lait and beignets from Cafe du Monde right now!

Laura is clearly delusional - and viscious and spiteful and feels the only way to win is by either being a [expletive deleted] and marrying a rich man or to trash someone by making unfounded accusations. I suppose it's what happens when someone's vagina has been stretched to the size of the Holland Tunnel.

I have a larger question though - no, not larger than Laura's passageway, but in terms of rules and the show. The question is:

What penalty is there for someone making an unfounded accusation against another contestant? Will the person that made them be thrown out and not be permitted to show their collection?

Clearly, Laura's brains came out in one of the many afterbirths. It was discarded in the trash long ago, but the Reptilian center of her brain knows that sometimes it's impossible to prove these things and rattling someone is sometimes enough to throw someone off their game. And just what a contestant needs - more pressure to deflect lies and insinuations by a blatant, talentless shrew who married for money.

Probably making up for her lack of chest by trying to be something she's not - a designer.

Ok. You know Mother Hubbard, I respect your talent and skill as well as the job that you do. But spelling has never been my forte nor has typing. Mind you when I am typing something official, such as a resume, business letter, or even Christmas card I spell check and pay close attention to my grammer. But this is a board where, first off, we use short cuts ("thru", "lol", "u","rotflmao") to make our typing easier. Second, there are many of us who are typing quickly because we don't have all day to make our point. (I'm sure that even tho I am rereading this you with find spelling and grammar mistakes). 3rd, going thru your list:

Michael and Jeffrey...are commonly mispelled names.
(my husband, John, gets wrong spelling all the time...and it's John!!)

Last names are insane to try to get right...especially since I didn't even know half of them. I'm sure people are trying but sometimes the adding or subtracting of a letter isn't even cause they don't know. It's cause they didn't hit the "t" twice or accidently hit the "n" again.

Finally, let me also say insulting someones ideas is fine and if the person is picking on grammar and messes up themselves...fine...hit that target. But I have had a disorder my whole life where my mind works faster than my hands or my mouth sometimes and the wrong word comes out. Sometimes its the "similar sounding - different spelling" or sometimes it's "similar looking - different meaning" but I don't want to feel like an a$$ because I had an idea that I wanted to express but the words didn't spell right. I think that can be far more insulting on the board on a personal level than if someone thinks Laura had too many kids (I LOVE LAURA...btw)

I appreciate dry humor and practice it myself...but I also recognize self-serving snipers and there is a difference. One deflates pomposity (in oneself and others}, the other destroys with intent

And that is exactly what Laura does. Thank you for putting your finger on it without knowing it.

To see that you do not recognize the difference in their behavior speaks far more about your lack of discernment and frankly your taste level, than anything about Laura.

Laura does indeed deflate pomposity. NEVER has she said "Oh I should have won that challenge" (which btw, Jeffrey would say every time) nor does she refer disparagingly to Jeffrey's, Uli's and Michael's aesthetic, as Jeffrey does. She shot Jeffrey down from day one, and Keith too, when both were saying everyone else was inferior and they were better. When Keith started behaving arrogantly after winning the first challenge, and then took Michael's sewing machine, she spoke up and directed her dry wit at him. When Jeffrey behaved the same, and started violently attacking Angela and screaming "I'm allowed not to LIKE YOU ANGELA" as if anyone cared what Jeffrey liked....Laura called him on it and asked if he was so superior why was he bothering on Project Runway. Whereupon Jeffrey called her a [expletive deleted] and wished her a heart attack. All class that Jeff isnt he.

In the latter stages of the competition, when all the remaining players were presented with Angela and Vincent, EVERYONE was upset, not just Laura, and Laura spoke her feelings frankly to Angela, instead of speaking villianously about her behind her back as Jeffrey did every time she left the room (and probably when she was within earshot too).

Laura has shown breeding and level headedness throughout the competition, and it was HER who got Angela her win, as she kept Angela from putting on her rosettes, and possibly getting auf'd right away. Contrast this to Jeffrey, who according to the other contestants in the bonus video, was ENCOURAGING Angela to add more rosettes in order to get her auf'd, and laughing about it in that snakey way he has behind her back.

ITA, dams, on the grammar issues. I have a degree in English, and my grandmother was a high school librarian before she retired, so I have a keen appreciation for grammar and spelling. But that doesn't mean I feel the need to correct everyone, especially with regard to proper names.

It's one thing to know the difference, proper spelling and usage of "two," "to" and "too," and to know the delicate rules of the apostrophe, but to expect people to get proper names right, unless they're important historical figures, is a little much.

I'm a stickler for spelling and grammar, but I stay my "red-pencil" hand most times, mainly because I do realize the unusual and innate intricacies of an online forum versus the graded venue of a classroom.

Yes, I cringe at the spelling and grammar on the boards at times, but I try not to be so anal about it all, despite my first inclinations to correct. I make typos too, and I hope the rest of the board will be forgiving of them.

I respect the "grammar hammers" of the world, because I've been one of them, but maybe we should think about turning those hammers into slightly less damaging mallets here.

After seeing the rerun of the finale, I decided to throw in my 2 cents.

I really like Michael, he's just a nice person, but I agree with the poster a few pages back (sorry, I don't remember who the poster was) who said Michael worked well on the challenges but had trouble when he was given complete artistic freedom. He has talent but not alot of experience, maybe he needs more time and experience in the fashion industry so he can develop his style before having his own line.

There's not much I can say about Uli. I still think alot of her clothes look alike, but she's a professional and it shows.

The Laura and Jeffrey thing. Let's take Jeffrey first. You can't blame him, or any of the designers for that matter, for wanting to have as much done as possible before going to Fashion Week. Considering the surprise that was thrown on the designers in Season 2, it was a smart move. Laura commented that Jeffreys' craftsmanship was never up to that level during the challenges and that you don't pull craftsmanship like that out of your ass. Well, you don't when you have 1 or 2 days to put an outfit together--to make 12 outfits for Fashion Week, they had roughly 5-6 days per outfit, plenty of time to perfect the garment. Plus this is how Jeffrey, like Uli, makes a living--they're professionals and know what it takes to put a whole collection together. Laura does not. This is her very first time putting a collection together. I can only think that her belief about Jeffrey outsourcing his garments comes from her lack of experience in the industry.

Tim Gunn is right in investigating the accusation. It would be a shame for anyone to win (or lose) unfairly.

Laura may be a rich [expletive deleted] now due to marriage but you can see her Louisiana white trash roots through and through! ( that's why she has 5 kids and more coming!) Why else would she act in such an evil uncouth way towards Jeffry? It's obvious she is jealous of his inate talent,street sense and youthful current style. Also have you noticed the condescending way she acts towards black people?( i'm black so I can say this People!) Being so fake and kissy kissy with Michael just cause he's black, picking a black model just because she is black and she has a black nanny/babysitter too. Like "Oh I love all these smiling happy negroes - reminds me of my childhood in Louisiana!"
Her husband is obviously a henpecked emasculated wimp- I'm sure she runs the show in that house!
One more thing-Laura was bitching that she never had enough money to start her own line- and that is why she wanted to win judging from the huge NY loft she lives in somebody has some $$$- maybe she should scale down and use some birth control and she could afford her own line ( since she is not good enough to win Project runway)

Ps Michael knight is sweet but some of his designs belong on hotghettomess.com! not on a runway!

I did not say LAura was jealous of Michael I said she was jealous Of Jeffry _ read more csrefully pleeze! Isaid she was condescending towards Michael and probably every black person she comes across because she is a Louisiana redneck hillbilly [expletive deleted] underneath it all!

Laura has faux grace and a "whole lotta ugly" in her as she would say! No one one with grace would make the comments she has made about other contestants. She is a HATER!! Jeffry is a bit rude at times like I am but at least he is real he's not trying to pass himself off as
anything he is not Unlike Miss Laura- She is not a classy socialite, she is Cruella Deville with that big red gash of a mouth her designs are cliche old and tired and she should go back tot he trailer park int he swamp where she belongs! ( incidentally that is why she was so hard on Kane- because he reminded her of her tacky roots which she is obviously ashamed of!) so talk about self hate!

Tam look at what your are saying hon! I know you are a Laura fan but think about what you are saying. As much as you don't like Jeffrey's attitude don't for a moment think that Laura is more talented in sewing just because her mother was a seamstress. We already know she is good! But for christ sake Jeffrey has had this career for over 5 years makeing clothes for Rockers...You don't think an addict can put their addiction into something else sans clothing? Jeffrey can sew just because he had to get back up to snuff dose not mean he can't! Ever ride a bike? Once you learn....kinda of like makin love....lol catch my drift ethier way you don't forget how to do it!

Honey...I live in New Orleans and we are far from racist A-holes. I'm white live in a prodominately black city...So don't dump on us. We are an extremely ardventgard city in most respects...music..theatre...movies...art...and funkiness...not to mention the food! New orleans is a city like alot of cities in Europe. I have lived all over the U.S.A. and there is no city like New Orleans in all of the U.S.A. We are a breed of our own. So just because you do not like Laura do not put my city down please we have enough crap to go through just to rebuild after Katrina. It seems to me you have not visited this city and seen all the warmth we give to everybody.Not attacking you but we are a little different than most of LA.
