great story - Jabberwocky, 2007-09-07: 12:33:00

That is a brilliant story, but I'm afraid I can't vote for this, because you used the word "ironic" incorrectly (thank you Alanis Morisette). - Pseudonym, 2007-09-08: 05:08:00

COMMENTS:

It's a nice word, but I would expect that in everyday use the pronunciation wouldn't be distinct enough from 'fatal' to be entirely satisfactory. - Nettle, 2007-09-07: 08:52:00

ITS a bit good but its too relevant to the word 'fatal' , you kno wat i mean? - RachelPhillipson2007, 2007-09-08: 08:03:00

Yeah, I know what you mean - Poeiden, 2007-09-08: 09:28:00
