OK, I understand security check on FB (having to type in two words before posting something on your friend’s wall to prove that you are of a human species). Annoying, but livable. There is no perfection in this world of lies.
I understand using words like “krieger”.
What I don’t understand is using words like “Westmorelands”. Is that even a real geographic location? Sounds like one of those places where a hero of some RPG game is supposed to travel to get the cooperation of the king of dwarves in the war with the dark elves.

I hear your kvetch, when I post my blog and Divrei Torah it's really tedious typing in all these non-words. The fact that they're not recognisable words makes me mis-spell far too many!
i think they would have put any string of words together for you to type-- for all they care
but they chose letters that form "words" so it is easier to remember and types faster for you (no: look up, down, what was that?!?)
The problem I find is that they are NOT words!
Maybe they're trying to accomodate the Dungeons and Dragons crowd...
Yes, perhaps. I won't be surprised if I see Hlaungadath then.
Are you a member of the said crowd?
I can't say I am.
Though there was a period of time when all I drew were elves, fairies, and dragons.
Hmm. I used to draw maps. Mostly when I was bored in lectures. Not D&D maps (I only dabbled with the D&D world when in college I played PC games connected to that universe), just stam maps. With military campaigns. And trade routes. Hmm...
That's interesting. Were these maps for pure enjoyment or for a more serious purpose, like taking over the world?
The world? No, I was never quite so ambitious. A small peninsula would suffice. Maybe an archipelago.
Who says taking over the world and pure enjoyment are mutually incompatible?
