fyi SilvertheLordofBalance won't have gotten the comment reply notification I just got

Buggerations. :( Here was me thinking (hoping, really) they'd at least see the comment. Thanks for the heads up.

Now to figure out how or if to rephrase. I <3 you, but they made me bristle, whoever they are. I really did find myself wanting to defend Tikki's honor there especially! ... And put on my proofreader hat, but ahem! If they're a friend of yours, you can smack me now or wait until later, either or.

No, I'd never seen their handle before, I don't think. Just making sure you knew anything you were addressing to them needed to be in a reply to them directly if you wanted it to land in their email.

Speaking of proofreading, the canonical spelling of 'Adrien' is A D R I E N. I have noticed you often end it with A N instead, as you did in the tags here, which I am betting is because your screenreader pronounces 'Adrien' and 'Adrian' identically without noticing the difference in spelling?

Frak! *blushes red, goes to fix a bunch of mess-ups* Frakkity frak! Yep, screenreader pronunciation strikes again. And this is why I should never get too confident... :s Thanks.

you're welcome

Think I got 'em all, and my lesson has been learned! To think, I've checked just about everybody else's name in this fandom, making sure I've got the spelling and accent marks right in the French of things, but missed the obvious one. Arrgh! ... When Adrien is genderbent into Adrienne, the difference in spelling is audible. Heh.

I have no room to talk about proofreading. :P
