I don't think it is so much a misspelling as a traditional spelling. Swyfte was possibly how the word used to be spelt, so I guess it fits in with the Elizabethan period. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, it definitely sounds like a lot of fun.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763695390241432518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411517893000706576.post-10879976986741664342008-07-01T15:02:00.000+01:002008-07-01T15:02:00.000+01:00The story sounds good.

Misspelling stuff on purpose is one of those weird literary grey areas but sometimes I feel like it relegates literature to the same level as naming a store "Stuff-4-Less" for no other reason than because numbers are fancy. Just using "Swift" would have been better than "Swyfte" (making me want to pronounce it like swiftie) because it's an actual word and doesn't make my eyes want to cough every time they see it.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I'm done complaining. Other than that, sounds fantastic.Todd Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141151129135759156noreply@blogger.com
