Camp meeting is two words

As a lonely, single adult, I often spend my time channel surfing instead of doing chores. "I'll do chores when I get married" is my mantra.


I often end up passing by INSP, because it's just a few channels away from Nickelodeon, which plays SpongeBob Squarepants. And SpongeBob Squarepants is the best cartoon that's been produced in the last decade.

I have found that INSP, also known as the Inspiration Network, specializes in the following types of programming:


1. Infomercials for religious/do-gooder charities, such as Feed the Children and St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
2. Infomercials for snake oil solutions to clean your colon, complete with pictures of things excreted during the regimine.
3. Infomercials for easy ways to get rich using real estate.
4. Campmeeting!!!!

Oh, glorious Campmeeting! (One word, not two!)

Campmeeting, as they call it, seems to be a gathering of a bunch of ministers who I imagine hang out a lot together--Mike Murdoch, Benny Hinn, some people with the last name Cerullo, and a few guys I don't know, but who are probably tight with each other.

Three-fourths of the times, when I happen to flip by, it's always on the part where Mike Murdoch is telling people about how people continually buy him clothes and cars. I don't begrudge the guy his cars and clothes, but I'd personally just ask God for cash, because it takes less storage space, but whatever.

Anyway, the whole point of this message is that, for some reason, INSP chose to call it "Campmeeting" as one word.

This irks my very soul.

There's no reason it should be one word. Camp meeting is two words. So is health care, BTW. Health care is never one word.

I choose not to give to a ministry that blatantly flaunts its incorrect grammar. It's one thing if it's an obvious disregard, such as naming your business the Kwick Kar Kare, but Campmeeting (with the "m" lower case, too!) almost looks as if the organizers believe it's one word.

So I can't deal. It makes me twitch a little. It reminds me too much of "healthcare," which also makes me twitch.

Besides, Campmeeting takes away from the time I could be watching the guy from the Almighty Cleanse infomercial talk about how he passed a "nest of worms" and something "six feet long" using a seven-day colon flush.
