Re: APOD: Alaskan Moondogs (2013 Jan 26)
I've just noticed that the "apparations" in the explanation in the archive of this APOD has been altered to "apparitions". I thought I would be able to add an edit to my original post to note that but I could not, so I've repeated that post and added my note here. Thanks to who did the change of spelling.DavidLeodis wrote:In the explanation to this APOD it mentions "apparations". I wonder if that is the U.S. spelling of "apparitions"?
Interestingly (well hopefully) in the Harry Potter series the word "apparate" is used and in information that I've found it states "To apparate is to transport oneself from one place to another by dissapparating and reapparating, coined from the Latin 'appareo', meaning to appear. Note that while the spelling apparation would seem to be more appropriate for this action, it is almost always spelled apparition in the books".
