It wasn't me!

But currently I'm using 'Prediction' for predictions by listies 
and 'prophecy' for predictions by Trelawny. I suspect a lot more 
posts will be about listies predictions of what happens than will be 
about Trelawny's prophecies, so shall we leave the more difficult 
spelling for the less frequent posts? [grin]
