I've given up on trying to persuade Americans that the act of filleting a fish -- or indeed a fillet of fish -- is pronounced "fillit" and not "fillay"

I was puzzled that we could all be so wrong on such a simple word, so I hightailed it over to both Dictionary.com and Websters for the scoop. It seems both versions are correct. Thought you'd like to know!

You are an Accomptant. You keep track of the King's accounts, which is a fairly simplish job: his current holdings is always A LOT, and his expected revenue is always MORE. 'Sgood ta be da King. As long as there isn't a peasant uprising, you're likely to keep your head. Also, you're the only one in the office who knows how to use an abbacus. (Or multiply.) (Or add.)

I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not.

Thanks! I don't know why I couldn't find that page before. I searched and searched for it. Finally, I just assumed that, well...I made the wrong assumption, didn't I? Razz

Actually, I will probably stay on these forums as I am new to Neil's work and I'm very excited about all of it. It's wonderful to have a resource like this, eh?

PS - I love Cowboy Bebop and Radical Edward too. Bebop is one of my deserted Island necessities. Big Grin

You are a Confectioner. Who can take a sunrise and sprinkle it with dew? Actually, that's Bob The Enchanter, two doors down on the left. But you make delectable treats, which is no simple feat considering Oompa Loompas won't be invented for three centuries. Not only do you delight with your sweets, but you've paved the way for a new profession: dentistry!

Thanks! Will do now that I've updated my info and stuff. I've been lurking about for a bit. Perhaps it's time.
