ATTN fandom: I am a genius!

I have just discovered a BRILLIANT piece of evidence for Knight 2 King. No, really.

In OotP, there is a now-infamous dialogue tag in which "Ron ejaculate[s] loudly."

Later on in that very same book, Dumbledore says something that, roughly paraphrased, amounts to: "I believe you're under the mistaken impression that I'm going to--how do they phrase it?--come quietly."

I don't think I need to see any more evidence. I'm sold, baby.

I'm still baffled as to why he ejaculates in the U.S. version and not in any others. Murrfgh WHAT THE HELL.

Because Americans are perverts?

Because Americans can't handle subtlety. They need it all UP IN THEIR FACES. (Er, so to speak. *ducks*)

Does he really not do that in the other versions? That's bizarre. I guess I'll stop wondering if poor JKR lives under a rock then.

Pretty much everything can be explained by "American editors kind of suck."

In all the other versions, he 'exclaims', I believe. Omgwtfbbq.

The sad thing is that this is exactly as good, if not better, than any other K2K argument I have ever heard.

Best. Thing. EVER.

I think it's a theory who says that Dumbledore is Ron from the future or the past, I forgot.

While I actually am a fan of K2K and think it quite possible...

OMG, IT'S SO TRUE. You're positively brilliant.

OMG

*FLAILS AGAIN*

And you know, JKR is a Brit... the fun-loving word smith kind... oh man!!!

This is brilliant! Thank you for pointing it out. Can we quote you?

Re: *FLAILS*

Mwahaha. Sure, go ahead! :D Though I've been told by people who own the other versions of the book that he doesn't actually "ejaculate" in versions other than the American one. Perhaps British editors found the connection too obvious, whereas the Americans were a little more oblivious to her ultimate plan. ;)
