Why yes, my good Ithaeliel,

Poor spelling can indeed lead to agony.

* blows about a mischievous smoke ring *

Say for instance, you're surrounded by a pack of Orcs. The only appropriate spell is one you normally don't use, so you've had some young Elvish shieldmaiden named Mary Sue (swooning, no doubt, over Legolas, mind not on her work at any rate) inscribe it on a scroll as a memory aid. Then when the time comes to read it, you find the writer's presentation of words unclear. Incorrect spelling leads to incorrect spelling.

Then I deem, dim dumb damaging doom dominates. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
