They’re entirely different, not interchangeable.

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?

So, we’re goofing around in Karazhan and decide to end our night fighting the Maiden of Virtue. We wander on into her room, our raid leader starts explaining the fight, and what do you think happens next?

Well, I re-did my interface earlier, which also meant making new macros and re-binding some keys. Somehow I managed to hit my auto-run key, and auto-ran right into her, starting the fight. I’m fabulous that way. We managed to kill her though, of course, because she’s super easy.

Incidentally, what’s the deal with the other things hanging out by the maiden? The Night Mistresses, Concubines and Wanton Hostesses? Hardly acceptable for the 12-year-olds playing the game. The things they say even make me blush! Oh well, though. I suppose people should actually read the ratings on games before buying them for their children, or else they will be exposed to things like…

‘Five seconds! I’m not kidding!’

‘So I said, “Yeah, but that’ll cost you extra.”‘

‘He asked if the imp could join in– can you believe it? Actually, it wasn’t half bad…’

Anyway, that’s enough rambling for tonight. I definitely should get to bed. I’m tired!
