"Forthcoming in the next spelling reform (which is sorely needed to logicalize the English language): "Attic" is a space in the upstairs of the cottages of cute anthropomorphic mice and other children's fairytale characters. "Attick" is what real people have in their houses. "Hac", "pic" and "mattoc" are digging implements used by Dwarves, not to be confused with the real world words "hack", "pick", and "mattock". "Milc" is a magical drink while "milck" is what you can buy from a supermarket. C/CK will be added to the ends of the words that don't have the sound, so that it will be possible to differentiate between "horsec" and "horseck". In the name of logic and consistency, the C/CK suffix will always be pronounced. "

For a long time in our Role-Playing games we always had at least one character whose name was spelled with a bare 'q' -- that is, a q that was not immediately followed by a 'u'.
So, it became a running joke that whenever a new character introduced him/herself, someone would ask how it was spelled, and the stock answer was 'with a q'.
I guess you had to be there...

Just a little bit. What I want to know though, is can I skate on it?

Also, if someone could pass this message onto Mr Donaldson: both the Bright Side of the Force as well as the Dark Side of the Force necessarily define each others' fundamental natures: Dark defines Bright, and vice versa.
To sum up: Taoism.
Pretty simple, huh?

Just realised: Donaldson is essentially saying this already; Covenant still thinks Lord Foul is only our Dark Sides.
