Just FTR, if I see one more post* where Lucius Malfoy's first name is misspelled as "Luscious" (and not as a joke either -- not that the joke was funny after the first 1,000,000 times anyway), I am going to go bughouse.
I mean, it's not even as though it's the easier and more natural spelling. You have to shoehorn two extra letters in there and change the pronunciation. What's up with that?

*I say "post" because if I saw this in a fic, I would hit the back button so fast there would not even be time for me to get annoyed about it. I have a very, very low tolerance for badly spelled fic, especially when character names are involved...
