Also, what’s up with people using “chanter” instead of “enchanter” in World of Warcraft? Is it laziness on their part? Are they so terribly exhausted that the extra “en” is too much work to type out? Or do they really think that they’re chanting when they put that extra spell damage on a weapon?

It’s Lazyness. Kinda like how I just said “It’s Lazyness” Instead of saying. The people in WoW user “chanter” instead of “enchanter” because they are LAZY!
LoL Gota love the crusader and lifestealing chanters’ though. They really make me scream with their rediculous prices.

I don’t know much about WoW or anything, but your last bit there “Or do they really think that they’re chanting when they put that extra spell damage on a weapon?” made my laugh.

Perhaps they are chanting to themselves to make their spells more powerful.

Hehe, I’m glad I’m not the only one laughing at that line!

That must be it!
Now I’m imagining someone sitting at their computer, enchanting a weapon, going “ohhhhm, ohhhhhm”… oh my goodness!

I don’t even bother reading most of the trade channel anymore because of the ridiculous prices on things. I have a friend that does enchants for me when I ask for them, which is almost never, so I don’t even think about it, hehe.
