Yeah, "alt" was weird. I think I've heard it exactly one other time, and that was in one of those offensively inaccurate fic articles that pop up from time to time.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've never heard it either. It's either really specific to some fandom I don't play in, or it's old. I bet she pulled it from a resource site that isn't updated much any more.

Up with the sun
Where do we see Wes's last name written in canon? I probably would have put the "h" in there... (hangs head in shame)
Google gives a split result, though I guess IMDB counts more than a straight site count (Yeah, I typed this up for my own amusement):
Wyndham-Pryce, 3,440 hits
Wyndam-Pryce, 2,840 hits (Note: this is the IMDB spelling)
Wyndham-Price, 2,310 hits
Wyndam-Price, 1,060 hits
Windham-Price, 294 hits
Windham-Pryce, 233 hits
Windam-Price, 64 hits
Windam-Pryce, 19 hits
And the misspelling that makes me hiss is Jonothon/Jonathon/Jonothan. It's a common name, spell it right!

Scripts are to blame for that one, IIRC. They had a couple different spellings.
It's Wyndam-Pryce in the shooting scripts. So, I accept that as the canon spelling.

Well, we could always do "they are from another branch of the family. The family that spells the name with an H. We do not speak of them."

Damn it.

There's Matrix/Sentinel. Which is really good.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I've actually read Matrix/Buffy, ages ago. Can't remember anything of it except that it was set in S3, Willow was the one to be offered the red pill, and at the end, she offered it to Oz.
