Predators and Prey

[WXYZ]

*shares whiskey then*

Cheers to that! Fine bourbon indeed.

 

[Arishipshape]

*abstains from alcohol*

I want to keep my wits sharp on the off chance another game breaks out.

Yes, I'm also a minor but that's absolutely irrelevant. It's definitely because I wish to abstain. I shall partake of danishes.

Indeed, these prey are a tricky lot. *glares*

*shares whiskey then*

*Passes around a bottle from my private stock.*

Ok, here's a question for the U.S. contingent. I know that the spelling differences in the states is mostly due to Webster neatening up the language and removing what he decided were surplus letters (i.e. the 'u' in Labour and Colour, and the 'e' off the end of axe). Why is Whisky stateside spelt Whiskey?

 

[Cosmic-FS]

Because English is weird. It's a maverick that doesn't follow anyone's rules, not even its own.

Wait wait wait. The tool that you use to chop wood is spelt "ax"?? Whaaat?

I have no idea. "Whiskey" just looks better I suspect. Additionally, as Cosmic-FS mentioned, English isn't fond of consistency.

Also how do pred v prey games start?

Seems I selected a sweet time to switch to salad. Bacon is overrated anyways.
