Fun With Typos

I am queen of the typo. I used to share the title with our very own Cariel, but I think I have long since surpassed her with my prowess to make comical typos. These, alas, are not my own.

  1. "angle:" known to the rest of us as "angel" an angle is a protector, though not necessarily a divine one. Angles are known to appear particularly when one has been injured in battle. Snape has his own.

  2. "acquisition:" while you might believe this term to represent the getting (or aquiring) of something, in this case, it is actually quite a gregious affront to one's personal character. An example would be calling a clearly pure-blood wizard "mudblood"

  3. "pregnet:" when I first encountered this word, I believed it to be reference to a type of fish previously unknown to me. Alas, no...that is, not unless Ginny is this fish. I did learn that you can't get pregnet if you wear clean undergarments though. Another spelling variant on this term is "pregnaut"

  4. "Parvatia:" this was one of my biggest canon shockers. I was falsely informed by JKR that the Patil sisters were twins when, in fact, there is a third Patil - Parvatia. It was good to know, though, becuase Parvatia looks a whole lot like Parvati and...well, she gets around.

  5. "Luda Bagman:" one of Snape's evil experiments, Luda Bagman has the lyrical capabilities of the ever popular Ludacris with the Quidditch prowess of Ludo Bagman, fusing to form a powerful rapping-dancing hybrid.

  6. "misterius exits:" the act of disappearing subtly in a cloud of mist.

  7. "hormoans:" I considered the appropriateness of this particular word for a while before I posted it because, well, it's a delicate matter to describe in a fashion appropraite for the HPFF blog but I think I can do it. Let's just say that Parvatia hormoans a lot.

  8. "smogging:" the process in which smog multiplies like illicit love children.

  9. "defenceless:" to be without protective fences in a time of need. Generally, one is made defenceless when a sexy member of the opposite sex is approaching you.
