Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

People always act like I'm faking it when I don't understand something due to poor spelling or grammar. I genuinely just asked myself "wtf is a diety? Maybe it's a DND thing?" Then after a few seconds I realized what it meant. Then I questioned my whole life because I didn't know how that word is spelled, then I realized I totally did the whole time and if it were spelled correctly I would've processed the whole thing in no time and moved on. I'm not faking it. Spell shit correctly. People like me subconsciously process the world by tiny differences we have to think about to even notice properly.

Or I guess the bad spelling may be engagement bait. In which case, it worked you evil bastards.

I've just given up on a book that regularly uses the wrong words and spellings. I'm sure some people can read past stuff like that but I just get horribly confused.

Like, if both maps are "identical" why are you saying "except the road on the second one had a different shape"? So they're not identical? My brain can't deal with shit like that, man. I reread the paragraph 5 times and then had to have a lie down.

What the hell is A diety?

A god whose calories don't exist.

No, it's the god of the Japanese parliament.

So… not Catholicism then.

Nope, that's Caloricism.

I would imagine this is a "I heard it pronounced, and assumed that's how it was spelled" situation (rather than intentional engagement bait, at least just this once). British english pronounces it the way it is spelled, closer to DAY-it-ee, while american english butchers it to pronounce it how it was misspelled, something like DEE-ye-tee.
