      But how does one go about giving what one does not have?

It's a blessing upon my curse. Which is itself a blessing.

I advocate chocolate.
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 :)

Well, after slaying some Greater Vexes, I am now a Swordsman with "Honor".

I'm guessing that's something sorta like "Honour".

Indeed, spelled correctly. But only on Spriggan Spelling day, otherwise it's missing a rather important letter.

Lol.  Well, if you're THAT determined to do what the queen says, I'll change it when I get home.  Honestly, I thought you Auzzies would be more determined to throw off your British oppressors!  You should come up with an Auzzy-themed way of spelling it.  Holoondoo or something like that.

See, it has less to do with following the Queen, and more to do with not doing what Americans do.

right, yeah, I remember now. You live in one of those backward countries that finds it "necessary" to include letters that are not only silent, but have zero impact on either pronunciation or meaning distinction. Yes. Very logical. Tell me, how the heck did anyone convince you to use the metric system if you guys can muck up language so horribly?

See, the only reason you think it's silent is that your accent does weird things to the language, and is "lazy" in a sense. If you pronounce the words properly, the U isn't silent at all. Subtle, yes, but not silent. it indicates a slightly altered and drawn out vowel sound. Just like the b in dumb - it indicates the m sound finishing the word should be reverberated slightly rather than simply dropped off, which sounds lazy.
