On the subject of Shaman
comment 2 Written by on February 4, 2008 – 1:40 pm
(from Miriam Webster’s Online Dictionary)
Main Entry:
sha·man
Pronunciation:
\?shä-m?n, ?sh?- also sh?-?män\
Function:
noun
Inflected Form(s):
plural shamans
Etymology:
ultimately from Evenki (Tungusic language of Siberia) šam?n

1: a priest or priestess who uses magic for the purpose of curing the sick, divining the hidden, and controlling events

Ok. So I hear a lot of people lately talking about all the shamen. I’m guessing this is because, in their English speaking minds, you have one man, and three men. Therefore one shaman and three shamen. Except, as far as I know, it doesn’t really work that way in Siberia. The plural of shaman is shamans (or just shaman, as I’ve seen it in other encyclopedias, but fail at finding now).
This is not a Clyde Crashcop segment… Sha for sha and man for man…

Retro Raiding – Ulduar

December 4, 2012 – 9:47 am

Last night we did an Ulduar 25 man run for some transmog gear for our DK tank (and of course, I got 3/4 of a set that I wanted, so I’ll have to go back to finish my own set …

Your character has unlimited funds and unlimited space to make their dream abode.
