ugleblurgle okay I am writing a post because I cannot currently work on my NaNo becaues there are people talking and I cannot write when there are people talking! It is a problem.

I read The Demon's Surrender today, and I keep on having to keep myself from spelling that word with a "u" in the last syllable. SCHWA, MY NEMESIS. Okay usually I think schwas are pretty awesome but sometimes they are problematic when it comes to spelling. English should have a letter schwa; it would make certain things far simpler, probably.

ANYWAYS why am I getting diverted by discussion of linguistics? Oh right because I am a) easily distracted and b) a fan of words and things about words.

OKAY TALKING ABOUT SURRENDER NOW. No actual spoilers )
