Accents in letters, archaic english, hamsters on toast

In the case of a wizard making mis-spellings, i would understand, but the culprit in this situation is a Druid who writes in dye. Seems pedantic, but no offense to anyone, pet peeves are understandable.

If you are going to use something, no matter what it is, you should do it correctly.

I agree with the sentiment of MrGrendel here as well, let us remain courteous to everyone rather than just go by whatever feels right (yet may very well be incorrect and not understood by others, thus of course killing off the purpose of written language as a means of communication in the first place, no?) to us at the time.

Good post. Seeing these terms used incorrectly doesn't bother me much but it's always good to know. Another one I've seen a bit is naught/nought. Naught doesn't mean "not" but rather "nothing."

"I will naught be of aid to thee."
vs
"I will have naught to do with him."

Only the second one is correct.

Nice post and appreciate the suggestions since I wold assume most of us did not grow up speaking old english. In trying to play a dwarf with a sprinkling of Old English and fake Scottich it can be dfficult (especially when imbibing the said Old English). I try to be consistent with my speaking and writing but I know it dosen't always stay consistent. All I can do is try. I believe last time this topic was posted the proper rebuttal was ...   TASTE ME AXE!


All kidding aside, I do appreciated the help and will attempt to integrate your thee, thine, thou, and ye suggestions.
