I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

Something to bear in mind:

The journals may know who you're writing to even if you say 'Aunt Midge' instead of 'Mildred Jane Elizabeth Smythe of Hertfordshire Downs' but you'd better spell the 'private message to' bit all the way out or EVERYONE will see.

I wonder who'll tell him? It certainly won't be me.

I've been thinking.

It probably matters to spell out this thing all the way too, properly.

Because if you don't, well, people will see the message, and they'll also see what you've written on top, and even really stupid people will wonder why that's being written and might sort it out or try writing it themselves.

And I know it's not like we're going to get drunk any time soon, but we might be really scared or unable to write because we've been cruciated, or something else awful, and

I guess we shouldn't risk it at all if we don't think we could write it properly. For safety. Because that would be really, really, really bad if we messed it up.

Maybe we could have a code word? That we could use if we think we can't spell out Solemnly Swear properly? That way, somebody else could do the spell for you, and you could say what you needed to then. Because if you write an answer to someone that did the spell, it works fine, and you don't have to re-write it.

What would be a word you could write really easily, but isn't used often? So people would know that you meant it, and weren't saying it by mistake?

I know, right?

He must be dead embarrassed about it!
