Are you sure "he did no use taxpayer money"?


Bilious bought the cheap spellchecker


Oh, and speaking of Stormy...she's cooperating with federal prosecutors.

Does that mean she’s gonna blow herself up?


My “not” missed the T, what is Harry’s excuse. Not enough money to buy a
spell checker? I assume you required a “d” on petar.
Sure she is cooperating, no choice. When is she going to have to return
the $130 large for breaking the legal agreement?


D'oh. "Petar" is the way Shakespeare spelled the word. It is for us the
archaic spelling of the word. I see no reason to update Shakespeare's
spelling.


I doubt it is ever used that way this era.



I guess we can justify any misspelling as was used that way at some time
and location.



Misspelling? Now that is revealing. You, someone barely literate, is
accusing Shakespeare of not knowing his native tongue. Well, Bilious,
*lots* of words were spelled differently in those days. Petar, and later
petard, were derived from a French word with a totally different meaning
than how the word petard is used today. Shakespeare and his predecessors
and contemporaries lived in times a lot closer to the "importation" of
many words. You'd have a miserable time with Chaucer, another giant of
English literature.


And using Shakespeare’s spelling is incorrect for modern usage according to
your dribble. Hell, I had a miserable time with some of Shakespeare’s
works. Mid summer nights dream, may be high literature, but came across
as stupid and boring.


It is easy to imagine what someone like Shakespeare would think of your
literary droolings. So, you wouldn't have done well in the "Shakespeare
Rapid Reading" course I took to fulfill one of my undergrad majors...

Oh...I wasn't using "modern usage." I was quoting Shakespeare directly
from a quarto, specifically a copy of this:



THE Tragicall Historie of HAMLET
Prince of Denmarke
By William Shakespeare.
As it hath beene diuerse times acted by his Highnesse seruants in the
Cittie of London: as also in the two Vniuersities of Cambridge and
Oxford, and elsewhere
At London printed for N.L. and Iohn Trundell.
1603.
