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...

I'll go with that. Likewise, "Lily" as "Lilly". Can't people read?

Disclaimer: I'm still not certain of the spelling of 'Quirrel' or 'Sybil Trelawney'. I really should add them to Word's AutoCorrect...

We need to start a webclique or something. "People Annoyed (http://www.vialune.org/cbm/archives/000459.html) By the Misspelling of 'Lucius'".

That is an annoying variant. I've seen it as Lucious more often than that; that one at least looks to me more like a thinko than a typo.

And will I ever remember to sign my name? Lisa here, being silly.

The evils of spell check, perhaps?

Mine tried to replace "surcoat" with "scrota," giving a whole new spin to my Sir Gawain and the Green Knight rendering...

Erin (though the spellcheck prefers "earwig")
