Working Title: Here\'s Your Note, I Corrected The Spelling: From YKTTW

Some Sort Of Troper: The referal to Romani ite domum as involving a locative is fine. It's one way of considering it, it is widely taught as such and it is one way to consider that it isn't "ad domum" but instead seems to be treated like a proper noun. The other way is just to say that they lose the ad but that doesn't make this wrong.


Andyroid: Would the bit from Monsters Inc where Mike corrects Randall's pronunciation of "cretin" count as a variant? ("It's pronounced 'creet-in'. If you're gonna threaten me, do it properly.")

Some Sort Of Troper: Hmm. Well, it's certainly Do Wrong, Right, it follows the spirit while not stricttly being grammar while I think it might be untrue and may be used as a deflection of criticism which is interesting enough for me to say to include it.
