Spriggan spelling >_<
« on: October 22, 2003, 09:06:52 PM »
Werewolf does not contain a "h".

Shintoism is not a word i reckon. It "looks" like it should just be "Shinto".

Reenact should have a hyphen. Re-enact.

I expect better from a frontpage review. They should be... perfect.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Show me a reference on Shinto/Shintoism. I don't know which is correct, so I'll leave the author's usage until I do. I fixed the other two.

Good review though. i thought it addressed all the right points.

I'm gonna have to say that those are minor things, especially for Sprig.  Shintoism is close enough, and re-enact is difficult enough that most people wouldn't even notice it.

Here's another minor thing: on the front page the icon next to the review is that of the video game section, not the rpg one.

Shintoism is correct.  It's like Jewdism.  It's in the dictonary.  Reenact is the correct spelling according to websters as well.  And don't get on my case, if you cannot even spell the words your complaning about.

If you want me to stop highlighting your spelling errors, try using a gash darn spellchecker already. Not like there isn't a hojillion of the little guys on the internet.

Also, I promise never to swear again.

I do use spell checkers on my articles, and Fell proofs everthing.  I just don't here because there's no real reason why I should spend the extra time to do so for the forum.

So the spellchecker failed to pick up "Wherewolf"? That isn't a word i recognize.

And i am not talking about forums. I only bother to point out errors in articles.

Hey, be nice to my brother.  Otherwise I'll have to start playing Mr. Evil English Grad Student and start pointing out everyone's grammatical mistakes.

(Of course, that would only last until Stacer pulled the ol' "Evil Professional Editor" card on me.)

I think the immediate response would be for everyone to pull out the "we don't care stupid English professor" card.
