Lazy bastards! Explains why I haven't noticed, eh?
Thanks for the clarifications.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Paul's last name (the one I use here) was Texified sometime in the late 1800s. It had been Marcantal. That's like being Americanized, right?

Also, a lob is "un lob" and a slice is "un slice".

My name is boringly WASP ... and people still manage to misspell it. I work on the assumption you call people what they want to be called - within reason - and pronounce their names as much as possible as they want. And, yes, you spell it as they request (nods to ita).

ION - did I mention here that mac's bus company is claiming a check of mine bounced? I am arguing with them, even though my bank shows it cleared and I have my statement to show that not only did it not bounce, but I had a balance of almost ten times the check amount still in the bank. I have had to print out my bank statement, black out all account info on it, for the bank account as well as accounts of bills I pay. I also have a copy of the cancelled check showing two stamps on the back.
Something shady is going on and I am stuck because I have paid through the end of June with these people.

Ann, that's a ferret.
If I had a dollar for every time my last name has been mispronounced (It's "pete-," not "pet-"), I'd probably have a down payment for a decent Buffista Island.

IOON, have I mentioned here that if mac runs out of his afterschool classroom one more time this school-year they will not let him attend there anymore? My closest back-up is a program run by the people who run the bus company.
