Plus, the sheer variety of spellings available for any number of names is mindboggling at times.
Yes. I'm sort of disappointed with my own ancestors, actually; they apparently lacked creativity. They could've at least tossed a Y into the family name or something, but no - they had to go with the traditional spelling, guaranteeing that no one would ever be able to find their descendants via Google.
and I had a devil of a time trying to convince a friend of mine of the right way to say 'Ewan' -- eventually, I had to track down a clip of him saying his own name to prove that I was right
Now I'm really, really afraid that I've been saying it wrong this whole time. How, um, does he say it?
*worries*
Regarding Kirk/Spock, there are always these lines from the third movie
Oh my god the slashiness. I wrote that pairing off as all pointy ears and nonsense, but I see now that I was wrong to do so. So very wrong. But, hey, I'm repenting. (Now, actually, I'm sort of worried that if I ever do see the canon, it won't be as slashy as it seems in the transcripts and quotes and vids. Because part of me thinks that nothing could be as slashy as, for example, the massage scene.)
