Don't want to hurt your feelings, or anything, but...

The game is BaldUr's Gate, with a U! I suppose I shouldn't complain too much, because I thought it had an e when I first got it a year-and-a-half ago, but it begs the question...Why do we spell it with an "e" on occaision? Doesn't the "e" have enough publicity already, being the most used english letter and all? Why can't we get some respect for the poor, overlooked, underpaid, undernourished, and underappreciated "u." I think all of us who have made that mistake owe Balduran himself an apology, along with the letter "u!"

As such, I might as well go first...

Balduran, U, please forgive the Ironworkers and myself!

Ilander- Balduran has nothing to say to you. ('Cause he's dead)

Wow... I do share your irritation on occasion, and your need for accuracy is something I can relate to as well. However, in the end, we're all mortals.
(It's one of my few flaws, one I'm working on, but for now it's true.)
Give the poor mortals a break, Ilander.

That's my take on things... though I think SixOfSpades really hit the nail on the head.

Erm, we're not all mortals here [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Aww, I'm not so much irritated as given an opportunity to me mirthful...and for the ever present comeback, six...I hate to tell you this...it might break your heart...but...Balduran...he's not...real.

lol, and like I said, I've done it a few times too(add the e, that is)!

Yet another reason he has nothing to say to you!

Ilander · 01-31-2004, 10:34 PM

Oooo, stung again...You all are better at that than me...Anyway, maybe Balduran himself wouldn't care in the alternate universe in which he exists/existed, as there is no guarantee that the times would match up like Baldur's Gate (the game) would lead us to believe. That, however, does not allow us to trample over the rights of the overlooked "U"

I then, change my apology to address only U:

U, please forgive us, and me especially!

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 01-31-2004, 11:34 PM

As the patron demigoddess of language (among other things), the letter U forgives you and is grateful for your apology. It is also not averse to having lunch with you sometime. And the letter E is impressed with your ability to stand up to it. It's so impressed that it will be sponsoring an episode of Sesame Street in your honor. Look for it.

('Course, you realize I'm not trying to sting you. It's all in good fun. Except for me being a demigoddess)

You sure DID hurt my 'fuulings'.

I cannot seriously accept your request as long as you name yourself 'Ilander' instead of 'Ilandur'.
