The Angel of Grammar attempts to duck the blow, but is a second too late and takes it full in the face. "OOF!" He could have sworn that if the word 'misfortune' were real, that the word 'misfortunate' would be, too.

Not for the first time, he curses the English language's inconsistencies. That, and Nalynn's aim with an American Heritage Dictionary.
