Title: Misspelled names?
Post by: Yvonne on March 31, 2008, 09:32:39 PM
I was spellchecking a post today and found out that Kapera, DFW's Weyrwoman, is misspelled - her name should be Capers! (Kind of fitting) What are your character's names 'misspelled' as by the spellchecker?

Some of mine:

Cyrek - Creek
Harki - Hark & Haiku (?!)
F'lin - Fling
Tsaera - Tarra

Guess who they are:

Coronal
Urdus/Judas
Zachariah
Enter
Telecom
Ellipse
Keyed
Untie
Shuddery
Argo
Melanka
Edna
Audit
Alomar

I add them all to the dictionary right away so I don't see them as errors any more :(
