Scrabble Frabamatazable!

Holy hell, Trick.

I have an intere........ah screw it, I have a grammer question I was thinking about it the other day and I was wondering what you guys thought.

In the UK Herb is prenounced H-erb, in the US it's 'erb. SO when writing the following phrase how would it be done?

(UK version) A herbal medicine
(US version) An herbal medicine

Because as saying it a 'erbal doesn't sound right, and an herbal also doesn't sound correct, so how would it be written?

Ummm....good question. I always write 'an herbal', but that's because I'm American.

I really don't know, I suppose both could be correct.

It's just something that popped into my head randomly. Shows how much free time I have.

You adapt the indefinite article according to whether the 'h' is pronounced or not.

Holy crap, look who wandered in here 😛

I only just noticed the forum existed. 😮

Nice job.....

Do I know this person? 😕

If you posted regularly in the music forum and GDF you would 😛

has anyone here tried to create their own music videos? fiction style that is. write it like a story. with lyrics. well, that's what i've been meaning to do for ages. with some velvet revolver songs. but now, i'm working on an alice in chains song. cover. got the outline done. can't wait to post!

Question for Rex:

When you start your SW stories, do you have a kind of template you use to create characters, settings, events and so on? Or do you just come up with an idea and run with it?

Merry Christmas people 😄

Merry Christmas, Lana! 😄

Heh, good question Mist. In my case, I try to develop the character before I write any story. In the case of Galder Starkiller, I set so much groundwork for him in Ush's RPG that I can come with something for him without much difficulty. He's brash, suicidally brave (some would say stupid), violent, angry, tries to be suave and fails, smokes cigs, hates Jedi, looks like Tom Cruise, has sideburns, etc.

Sometimes, though, groundwork can be tossed to the wind if you want to keep your character a bit more mysterious for the reader. For example: Lord Burk, a Sith Lord character I am working on writing up, gives no background to the reader before his introduction, is seen from his POV, and so on. You get to know him more as the story progresses, which translates into you coming up with things as you go.

*raises Hand*
I would say Galder's stupid...
