Bad Writing Habits #3
11 years ago
The bad writing habit of today is when someone says "Oh my (insert deity name here)."
Guys. Listen.
Religions are for multiple people. So the correct phrasing would be "Oh our (insert deity name here)."
If the deity in question has just one follower, then it's either Banjo or Jiyva. Then you have bigger problems. Such as adventurers busting in to wreak a path of carnage through your home and incidentally committing deicide.
Now, if you euphemism it up a bit and say "Oh my goodness" instead, then that's okay because it's your goodness and you can do what you want with it.
DON'T SPEAK FOR MY GOODNESS. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT.

Jiyva is my goddess, for obvious reasons. :)

The truth is, we never even needed Jiyva. Jiyva was inside us all along.
