Okay... I'm going to help Vedran with this thread... because he's at the edge of a nervious break down.. (pointing at MAlchOr Harpell thread... [img]smile.gif[/img] )

He's making a real fuss [img]graemlins/scream.gif[/img] about NPCS like ''Kangaxxx, Firkraag, Malchor Harpell'' that they are always spelled wrong.

With this Thread I hope to prevent that in the near futher because I don't wanna see Vedran going physco on us... [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

Use this Thread to let us see how NPCS/Items/Location's (a surtain elven city come's in mind)/Creature's are suppose to be spelled correctly... and give examples how they are NOT suppose to be spelled (use the worst example you ever heard )

Let's say the max is 3 name's that are corrected per post... because the ''Guru's'' on this forum will spell them al out in one post if they have the chance... but where's the fun in that [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] ?

Have fun and nock ya self out ....

Thank you, Annatar. Finally someone who understands my strive for spell checking. Me, the Paladin of Backspace, name you the official Ironworks Knight of the Proofreading. May all the correctors bow to your rubber eraser wielding hand [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

Just to donate a name:
Pulifer, instead of the Purifier.

I get to do the recruitable NPCs!

Valygar -- Not Vaylger, Vuylgar or Valygrl
Yoshimo -- Say it, "yoh-SHEE-moh!" Don't call him Yoshi, or he'll ask if you like little pink ruffles on your armor.
Jaheira -- Yes, I know it contains an "ei." Just remember that her name has a strong "HE" sound and you'll be all right.
Minsc -- Not Misc or Minc or Mincs

You're allowed to call Viconia "Vicky," if you like.

I have NEVER seen a name misspelled more often than Bodhi's. The H seems to drift wherever it wants to.....doo dee doo......
