Good one, have you ever thwarted a warg? Hahaha! Anyway, I have to go now. Going to tell some children that Santa & easter bunny aren't real.

ThomasPowers Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I found Wargs to be very unsuited for use as structural members in a boat, sitting on them is even worse! One end is snappish and the other *stinks* (more so than the Warg in general). Also if you try to fasten one down to the boat frame they tend to get quite upset. OTOH I probably could work out building a coracle from one or more of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 if there are a large congregation of wargs would they become frogs as they grow up ? <poly wargs> therefore they must be amphibians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzkill Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Do you suppose medieval fantasy characters get together in their down time and have extended gaming sessions of "Offices and Accountants"? I see a dim torchlit room off the side of a dungeon and a sign reading "Smoting is Not Allowed in This Area." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 7 minutes ago, ThomasPowers said: JHCC wouldn't one necessitate the other? "Smote" is past tense. "Smiting" is present progressive. Past progressive would be "was smiting"; "smoting" ain't a real word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzkill Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 So misspelling a word while correcting someone regarding spelling (even though it was intentional in order to provide an apparently failed play on words) is standard for those who are English? gram´mer (grăm´mẽr) n. 1. Grammar; - a common misspelling. 1 minute ago, JHCC said: "Smote" is past tense. "Smiting" is present progressive. Past progressive would be "was smiting"; "smoting" ain't a real word.

Buzzkill Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Ok, we'll try this one more time. "Smote" is the past tense of "smite." There is no word "smoting." It was an intentionally made up version of the past tense of "smite" for the sole purpose of sounding similar to "smoking." Depending on how you view the "mistake" it could be seen as either a spelling or a grammar error. Regardless it was not an "error" at all in the sense that it wasn't an unintended misspelling or incorrect use of tense, and therefore needed no correction. JHCC has "Grammar Hammer" in his user info. My intention was to make a light-hearted reference to that in my response. Obviously it's sometimes difficult to determine sarcasm and intentional misuse of language over the internet. I'll try to refrain in the future, although I won't promise that I'll be successful.

So you smoted instead of smited...I grammered instead of grammared...TP was impressed instead of being depressed....and the OP speiled and wrote a novel instead of just posting a knife for everyone to druel over. We all win...eventually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
