Got writer's block? Want to improve your prose? Grammar and spelling gotcha down? Then get out your sock puppets and chuck your sanity to the wind! (sanity is the number one block to writing)

Shbeiker

...Yikes. Hard question.... There're so many variations, it's hard to tell which one is the correct one... In Japanese, it's translated into "Shubaika", but I think they mean "Shubeicher"...?? I dunno. That's according to an official book I have that's in Japanese. *shrug* What do I know? My interpretation could be false....

I hope that helps, even a little! :D

She HAD to have a difficult name!! <sigh>

Hey Trekkie!!

Okay.. sorry I'm so late in replying to this. But, if you go by the subtitles of the series and how Hilde herself pronounces it, it's Schbeiker.

Hope that helps!!

I agree with melodrama. That's the way I expect it written. Any other way and I give the writer minus points for not doing enough background research. Not spelling a chara's name correctly is like a cardinal sin. *lol*

I won't ever say it in a review, but my respect for a writer dives if they can't even spell their chara's name correctly. What kind of writer are they if they can't even do that much?

Then again, if you are gonna use an incorrect spelling, at least be consistant. But I'm sure not all readers are as picky as me, so don't worry. ^^
