It's come up in a couple of communities, therefore it's on my mind. So I's gonna spam your friendslist with my ponderings. Again. I know, I only did this a few months ago.

Magic. It's spelled m-a-g-i-c. There's no k.

"But we need to differentiate stage magic from spiritual practice and effecting change in the world!"

Bull.

There are plenty of other words in the English language that have multiple meanings that don't need a special spelling for each meaning. Why is this one different?

Okay. Back to your regular rainy Saturday activities.

Very academically bitchy of you. Of course, I can totally relate, though perhaps not with this particular term. If I get papers that talk about "magick" from students, I just mark the word mispelled and move on.

People are stupid.

it comes up a lot in certain circles, and it just drives me batty.
