I see Hectate so often and i can't work out why?

Are these folks transferring their lactating to her?

Confused

HecateTheCrone · 08/03/2011 18:36

I am sure that the people who call me hecTate really see that extra T

Hecate Why are you suddenly a crone?

My favourite is people calling LeQueen - McQueen.

Takes away the princess and replaces her with cowboy boots and a checked shirt.

LaWeasel · 08/03/2011 18:48

I've never noticed it.

But I have always wondered where you got Hecate from...

because I just hear "Enough with the Hecate!" and imagine you turn people into rats. Grin

HecateTheCrone · 08/03/2011 18:55

I've noticed a couple of 'Hectate''s.

I am glad you've cleared up the pronunciation as I have been reading it as Hec-ate.

I have been called Fisspaps a couple of times, doesn't have the same ring to it really.

Psammead · 08/03/2011 21:22
