The trouble is, I'm doubting myself. I would like to be helpful and really don't want to annoy anyone. If I'm wrong, I really will come across as a twit. If I'm right, I may come over as a pedantic proof-reading freak. I want them to like me you see

I don't think it's too late to make a change.

The expression used is in a tag-line : "...to reap revenge on her two daughters".

Shouldn't that be "wreak" ? Is "reap" ever right in that context? Please could some literate person help me out?

It's not a tag-line, it's not! Everyone must go to see the film! (Which hasn't been made yet).

It's a sort of plot summary. It's going to be brilliant (possibly...providing they cast the correct actors Grin). I was in a teaser/trailer thingy on Monday which is going to Cannes. I was possessed and everything. This particular plot summary with the debatable choice of words is used very peripherally on an obscure bit of a facebook page that scarcely anyone has seen - yet...

I think the mother in question is very well-read and spends a lot of time looking through dictionaries... she's keen to be helpful, occasionally sycophantic and spends time on Mumsnet when she should be doing boring admin.

I wonder whether they'll be able to find an actor like that?

Wreak. Definitely wreak.

Well, I've been brave and let them know my thoughts. I shall report back if I hear from them.
Whether you are interested or not Wink.
