Why do people put a second "R" in Yorick? - Page 8

Ah, there's another interesting story here, starring Jim (once again) and Anne (name has been changed). Paul also makes a quick appearance.

The story takes place several months after Jim signed up for the Ironworks and made his first online mistake since he ordered that antique couch from www.scams-r-us.com...

It was one of those days one would never forget, with the sky over Jim's house heavily overcast.
Jim had slowly worked his way up through the virtual ranks of the Ironworks and was now considered something of a celebrity.

Anyway, he...

No. This story is not fit for young eyes, I'm afraid.

If I mention the part about opening the childproof bottle of aspirines, which is vital to the telling, I'd be endangering young ones everywhere [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It may be because 'moraine' is an actual word in English. What I can't understand is why so many people spell Brittain with only one 'T'.

Or why a Brit would use the American spelling Donut instead of Doughnut?

johnny · 06-04-2002, 07:09 AM

that's because one t is just about enough for you guys, no need overdoing it, dunnot.

Moiraine - I just realised - I think I pronounce your name as a combination of French and English - 'mwarain'
Silly huh?
