HP Fandom: misspelling Horcruxes since 2005
Further to Misspelled Horcruxes (September 2005) and More Misspelled Horcruxes (May 2006) - I'm tickled to report that the fandom is still coming up with new and creative ways of misspelling those soul-splitty things.

Spotted three in the past week.

* But, if they found out that Harry was after Voldemort's Hurcroxes, she wouldn't be the only one in danger...

* its the holidays after harry 6 th year what will ahppen harry ginny together? horruxes? read to find out

* Yes I defeated him and in the process I died since I was one of his Horcoux's but surprisingly I came back to life.

[This post is brought to you by the letter H and the number 7.]

see? i alwasy thought it said corkhoaxes. i wish you knew dutch by the way. I love the way the translater played with it. let's jsut say he took the phrase 'fragments of a soul' too far.

Corkhoaxes. Yes, that could work.

*snort*/*sigh*=OTP!

I'm amused, although personally I think it's all JKR's fault--the plural should've been horcruces in the first place.

Not that it would have actually helped or anything, I suppose. ;-)

But in a world where people think that "ill take all thre of em"* is an appropriate review to leave for a fic, I suppose we can't be surprised at things like this.

*Is this a compliment? A criticism of the fact that the fic is Harry/Ginny/Hermione/Luna rather than [idiot reviewer]/Ginny/Hermione/Luna? A sign that the "reviewer" misunderstood that the screen in question was a space for leaving a review, thinking instead that they were on a site where they could place their order for a takeaway special of spam, sausage, and spam?

The whole fandom would still be arguing about how to pronounce horcruces.

And certain quarters would be on about dominatrices.

But wouldn't those quarters be on about dominatrices anyhow? ;-)

Well, true, the fandom would be. ;-)

Dunno... 'Horcoux' has a rather poetic ring to it... French symbolism, anyone?

I still think nothing beats "Your mom is my horcrux."

(This one was pretty good too. *points to icon*)

Egad, nothing beats your "Horton Hears a Horcrux" comment from September 2005. Now there's a Seuss parody I'd like to see. :D
