That's okay, squirt. Everybody goofs at something in their lives. Some goofs are bigger than others those, and that seperates the dead from the living. That and pulse rates.

"Huggies," in addition to being a popular brand name diaper, is actually longer than "humans." Similarly, "mirries" is longer than "Miranu."

Ouchy ouchy? Where'd you get that?
Oh and Emalgha, E M A L G H A, not Emala, Egmal, Emalga, Emaga, Emagla, or Tie-dye Terd.
Miranu, M I R A N U, not Mirnu, Miran, Miru, Marun, Mirun, Miraun, Mran, or Mellow Maroon Moose.

Uh, Alien, I've been meaning to say this for a long time. It's, uh, about you're signature...
Well, despite valiant efforts, we now have a topic about the "Azagardi."

Actually, it's Dreadnaught. Least, it should be. Can't remember if it is or not. But that was the name of the warship in 1906, the one that started the arms race that began WW1, HMS Dreadnaught.

Indeed, it was originally the H.M.S. Dreadnaught (or "fear nothing") that coined the term. However, the o spelling has come into use with at least equal, and probably greater, frequency, and it is the o spelling that appears as the Voinian ship's name in EVO.
Possibly the most common mistake I see in misspellings is that people often spell "Igadzra" the race as "Igazra", the Igadzra's powerful warship. The only difference between the two is the presence of the d.
