BobGreenwade Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Re: Foxbat is up Hey, some people just have small hands.... (But really, I've seen worse, and from people who should know better. I'm still amazed at people who discuss the "Fifth Addition" of the rulebook, even though the word "Edition" is right on the front.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJackBrass Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Re: Foxbat is up That's one of the most common spelling errors I see in manuscripts submitted to me for editing. The curse of the homonym strikes again! ::cue dramatic theme music:: Yes, you can allow it for a short time, but after that the homonym period is over...

Nice to see that even in this age of Internet-baby-speak and seemingly-irrelevant grammar and spelling rules that the simple pun still thrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] The Nym? Then there's the fellow who keeps pretending to be The Nym... The Pseudonym! One problem, as I should have noticed before. It's not a homonym. Homonyms are spelled identically. Words that are pronounced identically (or nearly so) but spelled differently are homophones. (Which suddenly sounds to me like a politically incorrect answering service for the GLBT community... probably set up by Foxbat himself as part of his Master Plan.)

Steve Long Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Re: Foxbat is up Yes, sadly, apparently 1.6 billiion Chinese people can't get a few Champions Online promotional ping-pong ball guns ready in time for GenCon due to the stupid-ass Olympics. However, I am told they will be ready in time for PAX. Our hope is to get a dozen or so sent to us, which we can then somehow give away to Hero board folx via a raffle or something.

Pattern Ghost Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Re: Foxbat is up I think the artist who did the first two needs to learn what a human head is shaped like. =) Other than that, seems pretty spot on.
