Why does SA always refer to Sargatanus as Sargantanus? I know it sounds like a strange question to ask but... it keep coming up and up and up.

I suppose we can use this thread for any other silly questions now...

I suspect it's how he first pronounced it and it has carried over as a common typo.

Why do we refer to Sundered Angel as SA?

A) It's a form of endearment. Honestly. (Yes, it's a typo. I usually correct it, though)

:P Because SA is similar to Ra, the Egyptian Sun God. An unconcious form of worship, obviously.

Is Mag Steelglass aware of the spelling of the word "Rogue"?
It's 'rogue', not 'rouge'.

Is Sundered Angel's RPG character Duploi? If not, what race?

I used to not know how to spell it. Then I noticed I had been spelling it wrong. You'll find that everything that isn't ancient that mentions it is spelled correctly.

I used to always mispronounce the systems in EV, like Spaika instead of spica. And for a while, I though Sargatanus was sagatarius.
