I admitted I was wrong, said that I know I am a poor speller and gave reason behind it. What more do you want? Do you actually think that someone who was used to making over 100% in his classes didn't actually try to spell? Not sure I follow here. I used to spend four times as long on my spelling than I did on the rest of my homework combined, it still didn't earn me Bs or even Cs, it brought me from F to D. I was in a special class for my entire elementary school career to try and learn different methods of spelling. They all failed because things just would not stick. I could do vocabulary (and ended up making a perfect on that section of my ACt) and if I am given three or four choices for a word I usually get it right, but not always. It is something about putting the words together without anything to go on that messes me up. We tried phonics (which actually made it worse), we tried association (which worked best but soon became unwieldy when we started to have to do it with more than 30 words or so), and we tried some wierd program where my counselor put me under some kind of light hypnosis (you know the tapes that relax you and stuff?) and tried to get me past whatever block. None of those things improved my spelling enough to not make it a problem. I don't need excuses, I have reasons, and to me getting my point across is more important than spelling, if I worried about spelling all the time then I would never even attempt to post on the boards. In fact, it kept me from it for almost two years seeing how people were flamed for spelling badly. I am to the point now where I don't care, if my spelling keeps you from taking me serious, no sweat, it doesn't seem to effect most people that way.Also, I am not *in love with the horse* idea and never said it had no kinks. Go back and reread the original message. I was only saying  you should not just flippantly write off an idea as "stupid" or what have you. With some thought it can actually be a story seed. About a god, well there doesn't need to be a horse god since most realms have a *nature/animal* god or do you think that god just rejects them when they figure out how to comunicate with humans? I also took the tact and expressed it as such that I don't see that horses are really changed by the process, only brought into what we recognize as intelligence, basically the gap between *kinds* of intelligence are breached. It is not hard to think that those horses always had gods and such, maybe even rudimentary magic which affected the natural world around them. It was only when they were taught how *we* see the world that they had a chance to put that, possibly, aeons of culture and history to work in a way we could see it, ie sorcerers/clerics/druids. If that is the case then they could take the feats to help them along and explain it as translation more than anything else. Also, I thought we were DMs... house ruling things and fiat are our realm of action and we do it every day, I don't see it as a sin.Also, the definition of ignorance is "not having a chance to learn" not "denying a lesson" or whatever you are trying to say.</blockquote>
