I saw this in the chat, and immediately thought of Mer [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

She was speaking of a teacher no one recommended she take classes with but she thought she could handle.

Ok, I think I could bare that
I think maybe she shouldn't bare herself to this teacher, but that's just me. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Here are a few Gayahithwen and I found on the chat;

{Princess_Fairy} The forum no! My sister does but why would I post on some stupid forum waist my time like that!

{Princess_Fairy} Well then if we are aloud to speak other languages then let it be! (then she goes on to say something in another language..)

{OrangePaintCan} You are not aloud to speak other language but what i wrote were a book title

(Next two are talking about the Nazgul)

{Morarwen} no there SSSSSSSUPER cool
{Morarwen} There undead

Seems we also have some grammar problems [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] And you also have to love some of the names they use.

One from the quiz room:
Quote:

You're turn.
Very overused, and not funny, but it turns up so very often that it needs an occasional mention.

And another:
Quote:

guilded cage...
Is there a guild for cages? Demand fair wages!

Hmm, I'm sure I've been guilty of that one a few times. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Apologies to the person who posted this one, but it amused me:

He must have been a very noisy Maia, then. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"lol can't say i've attemped that feet"

Yes, feet are dangerous objects, one is advised against attempting them.

I'm just so giddy that I posted. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Thanks guys, for keeping this thread(my only half decent contribution to the forum) alive, and my obession continuing, even if i don't log into the forum for 10 months. May you be forever picky of grammar!

This wasn't a typo or a homophone, but it's closer to a homophone than a typo, methinks, so I shall put it here.

It just so happens that my protagonists are step-brothers, having no parentage in common except by adoption. The father's first wife died and married again, and thus the step-brothers.
Here comes the corpse, all dressed in formaldehyde...

I do love spotting homophones - here's another irresistable one!
Quote:

Making a sequel to a book that is not even written is plane suicide.
Rather confusing - is the author or director a depressive pilot??

It also says somewhere in LotR that the horses of the Nazgul were bread in Mordor
Well I've heard of men of straw, but horses of bread?!!? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Evisse the Blue 09-20-2003 06:30 AM

Probably Mordor had an unsuitable climate for grain so they used horse as bread...
