Does Grammar, Spelling, Wording, etc. Matter in Spells, Rituals, etc.?

Back in the 'swinging' sixties, I actually saw an advert that read:

Guy with preg chick seeks pad


*facepalm*

Oh goodness, that could be interpreted in several ways. ("Was she leaking?") Hahahaha.

I agree with this. When looking for a roommate, if you can't express to me your thoughts by email succinctly, with correct grammar and punctuation, I probably won't consider you to live with.

I don't know. Commas are pretty important in some ways

Well that's true, but I don't think the deities are going to care if you are the best at spelling or not. As long as you know what you are saying, then I think that is all that matters. That's just my opinion though. I understand what you're saying Masked One.

Good question. I would say it depends on one's perspective and attitude toward what they're doing. I might be biased, being a bit of an English nerd, but personally, believing that language is important, I suppose I see writing well as a sort of devotion. However, if grammar and whatnot are not that important to you, then it may not matter. I must say that when I see people typing in text speak and disregarding practically every rule of grammar (using zero capitalization, zero punctuation, and so forth), I have to question how seriously I can take them. On the other hand, shorthand can be very helpful at times.

I think it depends on the how you word it and the intent. Referring to commas, etc... I really don't think that matters. Just be clear when you are writing your spell and think it out. No one expects us to be English professors. I would hope not at least.

Kronk understands misunderstanding of spells.

Does this have a reference of The Emperor's New School?

That sort of misreading can actually happen. Years ago some-one asked me about the angel Offied: I finally worked out it was Cassiel in 16th century English handwriting. It reminded me of that poem by Robert Graves that ends "It's an old story - f's for s's - but good enough for them, the suckers."

That's brilliant!

It is a subtle joke is all.

I read this correctly, saw the lemon, thought 'why is there a lemon?' And then realized the joke.
