Counting the "mispellings"
Just because I have nothing better to do at work, I have decided to start counting all of the "mispellings" (w's for either r's or l's, as in dwagon or gobwin). I will then list all of the appropriate uses of the letters (r's for r's, l's for l's). From there I will post percentages of "mispellings". I don't think anyone else will be interested in this, but I'm going to do it anyway.
NOTE: "Mispellings" is in quotes because I realize that is their intended spelling. Also, I am a huge fan of Erfworld (note avatar and signature) and this is to point out the rediculousness of many arguments against the comic. Enjoy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As of comic 14:
w's for l's: 2
l's for l's: 162
Percentage (w>l vs total): 1.2195%
w's for r's: 8
r's for r's: 156
Percentage (w>r vs total): 4.8780%
total w's for l's or r's: 10
total appropriate uses of l's or r's: 318
Percentage (total w>l or r vs totals): 3.0488%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Feel free to double check my numbers. I'm sure I've missed some. I do not count words not written in speech bubbles (such as the music lyrics from Erfworld 14 or the 1337 speak from the orlies).

Re: Counting the "mispellings"
Some people just like to complain.... The w's for l's and r's give Erfworld a sense of it being something else, not the default high fantasy comedy comic, but something all its own.
This is where I quote something I find wity and cool.
Correction: where I would quote
It isn't going to happen. Bummer
