Re: Facepalm inducing spelling errors.
I have dyslexia. I have to use spell check on everything and it's just embarrassing playing this game sometimes. (used spellcheck twice in that sentence above to correct letters in the wrong place.)
Owlbears are the only thing keeping Arelith from the D&D experience.
Re: Facepalm inducing spelling errors.
Back when I played Xanatos Ste'dwent, I approached Eva of Lightkeep, with a horde of pilgrim players around her...
Instead of typing "Dame Eva".... I addressed her as "Damn Eva"... I was blushing profusely behind the keyboard at that, as it was still within the first few months for me on Arelith. Great first impression.

Re: Facepalm inducing spelling errors.
Yup, "Lloth" is literally just regional drow dialect for "Lolth" that's most often used around the city/region of Menzoberranzan. Both is correct however.MowerQueen wrote:As I understand, "Lloth" is not strictly wrong. Rather it is a regional variant on the standard "Lolth".

Wierd.
I don't know. So many. Kudos to Kalimere and EnigmaticSpirit who taught me English over the years XD.
Re: Facepalm inducing spelling errors.
To be precise, "Lolth" is her true name, but "Lloth" is the version of her name used in the cities of Menzoberranzan and Uluitur as supported by the following sourcebooks:
And with the following in-universe explanation from R.A Salvatore in the novel "Exile":Drow of the Underdark, 2E, 1991
Menzoberranzan (Boxed Set), 2E, 1992
Demihuman Deities, 2E, 1998
Drizzt quietly recounted to Belwar the story of the [...] decision to forsake his kin and their evil deity, Lloth. Belwar realized that Drizzt was talking about the dark goddess the deep gnomes called Lolth, but he calmly let the regionalism pass. (Exi., P2:C7)

My wife is a very skilled writer and RPer. She's leagues better than I am.
But she has the absolute worst spelling errors.
We were RPing in our previous RP community, and in the middle of combat RP she meant to type: "In the struggle, Mraeka is shoved backward and loses her balance, sitting on the floor."
What she actually typed was: "In the struggle, Mraeka is shoved backward and loses her balance, shitting on the floor."
But she has the absolute worst spelling errors.

My personal favorite is Armathor's now famous cra* picture. Pilgrims will flock to myon for years to see it.
Glad you never edited it!
For some reason I always spell "lever" as "elver". Yes I play elves.
