Grammasites: spelling
Line 38:
Adjective-creating creatures and maggot-like in appearance, bookworms act as portable thesauri, changing common adjectives into others. ("Nice" for example, into "amiable" or "attractive") Their presence is welcome in most areas, however, should too many infest one area, the area uses too many adjectives and "flowery language", making the text unreadable.
===Grammasites===
A variety of species occurring, the grammasite was a failed attempt to change nouns into verbs. Escaping from the experiment, their release resulted in a disaster, as they can contribute severe damage to a book. The known types of grammasites include adjectvoresadjectivores, which suck all meaning from an object, and verbisoids, as well as others.
 
==Languages==
Although the actual language of the BookWorld is English, there are also other Great Libraries that are apparently completely other languages. The actual sublanguages of each BookWorld, however, are regarded as fonts (Courier Bold, for example, is the primary "language" used in the Well of Lost Plots, particularly by criminals). Also, Lorem Ipsum is a dummy text used to demonstrate layout, and is the only language [[Characters in the Thursday Next Series#Friday Next|Friday Next]] speaks as a young child.
