*language geek hat ON*
Actually, I'd think it'd be worse when you anticipate a noun and get another noun. When it's noun vs. verb, the syntactical context can disambiguate them, while telling two identical nouns apart will often require a close inspection of the sentence and its subject matter.

Um...eh? What, pray tell, are you on about? My post was an off-topic interlude regarding whether confusion between "IS" for Internet Stranger and "IS" the capitalized verb is or isn't worse than that between "SK" for SaberKitty and "SK" for serial killer. It had NOTHING, do you read, NOTHING to do with the topic of this thread. Nngh.

I get it now. And I shouldn't have been quite so snarky. Sorry!

(And for the record, at 18, I'm not much older than Saberkitty. Though I'm sure she and I are quite different people.)
