The special charachers codes are available as part of FAQ answers (not the 'official' one above, but posted by Mr. Underhill, sticky one immediately up there on the Novices and Newcomers subforum

Feel free to use those. If such an option does not suit you well, 'copy-paste' option from Word processor is also applicable. In Word itself, use Insert-->Symbol menu on the main taskbar above.

The misuse of the plural form of the word is just another part of the satire.

great link HerenIstarion now I can finally spell those words correctly

as for the Maia, Maiar thing it is easy for someone who knows the difference to still get it wrong because of a typo and I always take that into account before correcting people.

I have one thing to say. And maybe Estelyn will remember this and maybe she won't.

This was my favourite thread title on the Downs, by far. It said so much, all in one semi-sentence. Of course it was quickly and cruelly deleted, but I shall attempt to immortalize it here for future generations:

Quote:

wot an eru??????????

A no less important question. Something we can all move on to once everybody understands wots a maiar.

And please understand, I meant no offense--I was just venting a little spleen.
