I normally have no trouble spelling 'color' the "normal" or American way, but I'm writing a story about Centaurs, and for some reason this seems to have the uncocious effect of having it come out 'colour.'

How odd or funny or sad or useless is this information? :devil:
 
Licorice is not just black or red. A Dutch friend brought me a bag of licorice from Holland and it was full of honey licorice, chocolate, cinnamon, caramel...

Good stuff.

(This is the random bits of information thread, right?)
 
I told a brit friend of mine that I loved licorice and she freaked out thinking I meant black licorice. I love all licorice.:D equal opportunity candy lover:D

so a blonde walks into a bar, the next person ducked.

Eww.

I once had fruit punch flavored licorice because I thought it sounded good. But I was wrong. I like the red kind. esclusively.

Any thoughts on why stories about Centaurs compell me to spell words more *colourfully* than usual?

Its because Centaurs probably never existed in the New World.

I thought that the spanish brought them over and the Natives set them free in the wilderness (back in the days were it was plentiful, and they didn't know there wouldn't be enough to share)

I think you might be mixing it up with Narnia.
 
I'd just like to point out:

Liqourice.

It's our language! :D

I thought the general status on the liqourice front was that Europeans (brits included) liked it, Scandinavians were nuts about it and that Americans didn't even know what it was.

Liqourice is my one big vice. Specially the salty salmiac based stuff. The stronger the better. You should feel a slight trace of ammonia.

The question at this point is- do centaurs like licorice? if so what flavor? and can it be formed into arrows for them to shoot? do licorice arrows behave in a manner similer to Cupids arrows? and finally, which Narnia book might address these issues?

To go with your flow, shouldn't that be "flavour"? :) But flavour? What wrong with liquorice flavour? It's like asking "what flavour" when talking about chocolate, or coffee.

I've read about two different opinions about licourice. One claiming it has a necative effect on the sex drive, and another claiming it's an aprhodisiac. So maybe they can use it as a love potion, to get their groove on. Or get their groove off, if they mix it differently. Imagine the possibilities for complications...taking the up-licourice by mistake.

Colour is good. But not coloured centaurs.

We don't bother with spelling licquorice we call it spanish.

I just need to know how you pronounce it. Lickoriss or lickerish?

(However you spell or pronounce it spanish should only be eaten with Kaylai. )

I would like to eat some spanish- but she won't go that way.

Anyway, I need proofreaders. I'm willing to beg. https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=332992
 
If you have trouble deciding whether to spell it Licorice or liqourice, you can always go with “the flavour of the Glycyrrhiza glabra root.;)
