Note to self:

ERASED, as the title of a book, is almost certainly pronounced "ee-RACED", not "AIR-uh-said".* Get a friggin' grip.


* Not that spelling it backwards would make any sense anyway.

Is that anything like Erised?

[arcanetrivia]

No, which was the point. Apparently my brain wishes to read "Erised" when "erased", the adjective/past-tense verb, is clearly what's meant.

LOL.... I do much the same thing. My husband listens to a lot of news radio, and one particular commentator uses the term "snake oil" quite a lot. EVERY time he says it, my ears perk up. Snape? Did he say "Snape"? No, Mimi... calm down. He would hardly mention "Snape" in the same sentence with the phrase "tax stimulus package", now would he? Although the juxtaposition of "stimulus' and "package" gets me strangely excited...

This is so funny! *LOL* It's funny the way our minds play tricks on us.

You know, weird thing - when I first glanced at ERASED I too saw and thought ERISED. I guess I just have alot of subconscious and repressed DESIRE. That wouldn't be a surprise actually...

Oh, and of course, the obvious - I am way to frickin' obsessed with the Harry Potter universe!!!
