    D&D General D&D Pronunciation Guide

    Spelling in the English language is so broken. Words that used to be spelled properly were changed, making our language confusing beyond reason. When I read "childe" in a very old book, I thought THAT'S the way it should be spelled. child should be said like chilled. I think because our...
