MS Word, how you vex me

Yet another of the myriad ways in which MS Word is on crack:

The word "poetaster," a word created by Ben Jonson and meaning an inferior poet, is in the dictionary. However, missing from the dictionary... is "Jonson."

*facepalm*

Er O.o Left the client on and forgot to post. Anyway! Icons! For [livejournal.com profile] glr1114! Because she's awesome and deserves X-Files icons.

Working with real-life photographs challenges my icon-making skills in new and exciting ways O.o;;

The words are from Galapagos, by The Smashing Pumpkins. It's kind of an apt song.

I have about a frillion icons from past [livejournal.com profile] utena_hush challenges to post, but I should really be doing Latin. I may or may not post them later if I decide to put Latin off until tomorrow morning.

Oh, I didn't know Ben Jonson invented that word. Nice to pick up a new titbit of information! :-)

So says my professor, at least :) I'm inclined to believe him.

Every time I read the word, 'poetaster', I pronounce it in my head as 'Poe Taster', which then makes me giggle.

Mmm, Poe! Tastes like angst and opium!

Hee, it IS fun to pronounce that way ^_^

I know that I already thanked you for the icons, but thanks again. :) Just catching up on my LJ now ...
