Just don't pretend it's like hard SF, and I'm fine with it.

The quest for perpetual motion continues, physics be damned!

And I was laughing as I typed my response to it.

Of those "Ortho" is the easiest one for me to understand happening. It's a root/prefix (orthopedist) as well as being a brand of gardening chemicals. I suspect the player who's doing both is hearing the other players who are doing one each and combining them. I understand the frustration...

I would point out to K's player that intentionally shortening it is less mocking-ish than persistently stumbling through it and/or mispronouncing it. If there were some other syllable the player would prefer I use, I'd be happy to use that. I've played at least one character with a more or less...

That looks like a hard name to persistently mispronounce. I mean, I see a couple-three ways to pronounce it, but they're all simple. (My first guess is long o's, th unvoiced?)

I think there's a difference between being angry and holding grudges--and I say this as someone who can hold a grudge like a professional.

Some things are worth being angry about. Some things are not. Knowing the difference is the really difficult part, I think. Also, that will be different for different people.

Unrelated to the above: I don't think I agree with your definition/s, I don't think my response/s would be helpful. I mean, I think I see what went wrong, but I don't think you want to hear it.

It's funny, the more I read PKD's novels the more I think he should have stuck to short stories.

An even dozen is enough, I agree.

Unrelated to the above: He is not listening to the advice you are trying to give, because you have convinced him that what he wants to do will work. Good job, well done.
