Spelling fun:

"WTB Elite Monk Tomb." I always wondered where that elite monk got buried...

"We need Talkora for this mission." I know she's chatty, but I didn't realize her nickname was Talk...

In Factions, Nightfall and GW:EN... "LFG Mission + Bonus!!!!" That always amuses me.

"Does the necro have SV?" Hmmmm...Spoil Victor? Spinal Shivers? Sympathetic Visiage?

LOL "apple poison"!

this is less a spelling thing than grammar: cast, not "casted"! I see "casted" a lot on posts by people using the past tense of "cast". No such word as "casted".

Tombs for tomes - a lot! Of course, I want an elite tomb when I die - but until then...

Acolyte Sousuke.

I know how it's pronounced. I still call him Sussudio after that Phil Collins horror of the 80's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susudio

Heh, fits his...shall we say prissiness.

Definately kinda funny knowing alot of us been pronouncing their name wrong. I been saying something like that also, more like At-tax. Bladed At-tax. But of course a name like that would confuse alot of people on how to pronounce it correctly.

I think you're thinking of the word "quay" which people often pronounce 'kway' where instead it's "key". A pronunciation nightmare would be Yxthoshth, although wiki says:
Quote:
Yxthoshth's name may be a reference to both Yog-Sothoth and to H. P. Lovecraft's penchant for using bizarre, nearly unpronounceable names.
Dunno about this one, maybe "iks-tho-shith"? Probably better to just call him that mesmer boss in the desert .

I saw a guy in Kaineng the other day who needed 8 elite monk tombs. Must have been a really bad PUG that day.

People who call Kuunavang "Kunny" always amuse me....

Only one of the three dictionaries/encyclopedias I checked listed "kay" as a valid pronunciation. So I'm sticking with "key".

And the Cayman Islands were named after the caiman, a relative of the alligator.
