Hi, back! I'm still here. Busy. Some things in real life to deal with, so my temperament is possibly pricklier than normal. And this Forum is full of people who get upset if the world isn't handed to them with rose-petals and pearls. Meanwhile, I've got a stunningly great idea for Lyrra's next contest. ::grin that would light up San Francisco:: "The Misspelled Word" This month, DAZ has given us "Horde" instead of "Hoard", but I ignored it. There were so many articles in that pile of pelf, that it qualified both ways. But now we have "Alter" in lieu of "Altar"... hey, does Stephanie turn into Michael before our eyes? The possibilities! Yowsers!! And they aren't the only accidental homonyms, just recent, high profile ones. I've seen wearwolf for werewolf and gild for guild in the last few months.... So, imagine (feel free to add the rasp of claws and crackle of bones as well as the spattering reek of a tar-dipped torch), that you are not a spellcaster yourself (s/he is lying there unconscious), but are reading aloud from a scroll... and you realize to your horror (as if your predicament wasn't bad enough) that one of the words was misspelled. An essential word. A primary word. This could be laughable or lamentable... depending upon the nature of the spell you'd chosen and the word which was substituted. This could be fun. Carolly
