eck-spelling

[lapin-agile.livejournal.com]

Do you think Pansy's regressing in her shock about her mother's crisis? A quick list shows a major change in Pansy's writing: eckspelled (she spells it right before she crosses it out in the post but spells it wrong here and here); dint; actully; priviledges.

Or is Pansy trying to fit in better by bringing her spelling down to the level of her peers? Or is Padma's influence having a viral effect on everyone else including Pansy? I even considered for a moment whether Padma'd got hold of Pansy's journal, but I'm pretty sure that's not what's going on.

Relatedly, I thought it was pretty darned funny when Pansy imitated Padma's illiteracy in Padma's own comments and little Miss Pureblood Ravenclaw didn't catch the point. I think Padma's first quill split so it wouldn't have to write her sentences anymore. (I dint know kwills cud cumit suey-side.)


ETA: Rather than start a new post, I want to note here that Pansy says here that her father told her to always ask questions. (I'm pretty sure she's said this before -- sometime during the Marie episode.) I'm taking this as an important piece of evidence about her father and I'm adding it into my personal theory that Mr. Parkinson met a "friendly-fire" end at the hands of his fellow Death Eaters or at the business end of the LP's own wand. My best guess is that Lucius was responsible. And, in any case, I suspect that Mr. Parkinson was unhealthily inclined to question Death Eater tactics/motives/ideology. If Bellatrix is a model of zeal, I suspect he once defined the other end of the spectrum. (I wonder if he and Regulus were friends/allies.)
