You just made me realize something...PF could use an English/grammer forum. There seems to be a lot of people here who use English as a second language and I think it could be a real benefit to them. And to be honest, to me too..:blushing:

I think I am going to go put this in the forum suggestion box...

Good. But for boys or girls? :wink:
Anathema Device was the name of a female character in the book Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

A-nath-e-ma:
1. A formal ecclesiastical ban, curse, or excommunication.
2. A vehement denunciation; a curse: “the sound of a witch's anathemas in some unknown tongue” (Nathaniel Hawthorne).
3. One that is cursed or damned.
4. One that is greatly reviled, loathed, or shunned: “Essentialisma belief in natural, immutable sex differencesis anathema to postmodernists, for whom sexuality itself, along with gender, is a ‘social construct’” (Wendy Kaminer).

It isn't exactly a nice name to give someone.
