Apologies if you already know this, but at the recent Twats In Hats house gig, I was asked to explain the alternative spelling of "wonderful"...so I figured it might be worth setting it out here.

In the wondrous RosFest intro music featured on The Philadelphia Experiment recording, Jem spells out the word "W-O-N-D-R-E-F-U-L", playing on the way R and E are swapped in the US spelling of "Theater". Listen carefully and you can hear it.

So, when you see "wondreful" in a Frost*-related post, that is the reason for it...not a spellig mistrake!

"Explanatio"?? Jeez, a simple job and I blew it...  ;D

Now corrected...no-one will notice, right? Capital, capital...what?

Reminds me of the time, many moons ago, when I was revising for my final exams in the main library at Edinburgh University. One of my dear female friends (where are you now, Melanie?) asked me if I knew the meaning of:

"Epistemological"

The reply I wrote on her notes?

"The man urinated on my calculator"
