Actually, Simon, maybe I have been too hard on you with the nitpicking about your spelling. I think you edited something in at the end of one of your posts here about being terrible at grammar?
If you really don't understand the grammar, then pointing out that there is a difference between "your" and "you're" doesn't help you much, does it? And telling you that your browser can give you a list of alternative spellings doesn't either, if you don't know why one is used rather than another.
To have used a language for nearly thirty years and still not really understand how it works ... Wow ... you are a dipshit.

"misinterpret the book wrong" is almost a Bushism ("don't ya'll misunderestimate me")
but sorta inadvertent - I don't think Bel Moulay is a native english speaker, atleast I've
seen him & Fantomas trade posts in some kinda foreign gibberish .....
I was more impressed with Simon's elevation over Merritt
as the new Font of Dune Wisdom ....

Dabblers in their own shite in The Butlerian Jihad wrote: From where he worked, Bel Moulay, the bearded leader of the Zenshiite slaves, glowered at the callous inventor. He hated the Poritrin man's pale skin, square-cut hair, and arrogantly colorful clothes. The scientist's frivolous badges of honor meant nothing to Bel Moulay, and all the captive Zen-shiites were offended that such a useless, deluded man could flaunt his wealth while stepping on the faithful.
