Messiah. Pretty simple, it's spelled just like it sounds with an "h" at the end, although I could see an argument made for "-iyah" too. Omelette only has the extra "e" in the middle to worry about.

I'd like to take this next paragraph to post something on-topic but I've no idea what thread I'm in.

3 nice bits from the-magicbox.com

- Variety Asia reported that the top three Japanese game publishers are redirecting their development resources from Sony and Microsoft platforms to Nintendo's. Bandai Namco will increase Nintendo platform development by 109% to 115 titles; Sega will increase support by 96% to 49 titles this year; and Capcom will increase 5% to 20 titles.

- Variety Asia mentioned that Nintendo expects to ship 26.8 million units of Wii, Nintendo DS and GameBoy Advance software in the 2007 financial year, comparing to only 23.3 million units of software for PS3/PS2/PSP platforms.

- UNCONFIRMED: In addition, Square Enix expressed that they do not plan to develop any more new titles for PlayStation 3 until the console install base rises to a profit making level.

because once a game gets old and can be found for free it becomes automatically unfun to play and an economically unviable. No wonder the VC has been doing so badly..oh wait.

Or no second s, or no "h" at the end, or "Ma".
I had to try for 5 minutes yesterday to even get close enough for the spellcheck to pic it up.

..but if its good enough, do the developers deserve some money for their efforts?
The fact the title is free, perversely, makes me more willing to pay for it

A single s tends to make a much softer sound, more like 'z'. In 'messiah' it is very pronounced, so would definitely need the double s.

The short 'm' sound is as likely to be spelled 'me' as 'ma', and if pronounced lazily, 'mi' - think 'meticulous', 'material' and 'miraculous'.

The 'iah' is indeed the bit you need to have seen to know.

You have a spellchecker? Really? You might want to investigate what those squiggly red lines represent. They're not just there to make it look pretty.

(Ironically I'm replying to the one post you've made recently in which the spelling was pretty good

No squiggly lines for me.
(its solid red)

As I have said a few times, I only take care over important posts anyway.
Normal banter I cant be arsed with.
