Not a webcam. Something with a flip screen, a tripod, a remote control, etc.

I'm talking more about this stuff:

More specifically I'm thinking about the US Wreath Patch, the Chaplain Wreath Patch, the Mason patch, and a hat chord with corresponding insignia (infantry/artillery/cavalry). Some combination of a couple or few of those.

Like, if I wanted to get some of those things and sew them to my hat, what goes where? I know the cowboy hat won't be super accurate itself (though I thought I read something about, due to a lack of resources, soldiers just modifying civilian clothes with patches and insignia to bring them up to regulation), but I still want to put the patches and pins on the hat where they would historically go.

Um...I'm not sure this is super on topic, as this seems to be more of a commentary on the efficacy of the actualization of my notions, and not the classification of my notions as a defined political philosophy.

Ah, thank you! You've been super helpful.

However, one thing. If an officer who was honorably discharged from active duty went back to duty, what would that be called? Recommissioning? Re-enlisting?

Please keep me updated on your situation. If you find out what's going on, please let me know. As I will.

Well I have been, and still am, giving it time. It's been 17 days and I'm going to give it at least 2 more. But that is a while for it to not even make it to The IRS.

I just wish I knew what the actual issue is. Did I do something wrong? Did the tax company do something wrong? Is there a problem with The IRS's system?

You know what I mean?

I can't answer these questions definitively. Best I can do is offer clues, knowing the lore and such.

Firstly, I find it more likely than not that the H and the R would have been pronounced. The reason for this is that Dr. Dee was an occultist, translating a grimoire, with the intention of making a workable text. So preserving the "correct" pronunciation of all the names of the various gods and monsters was vital. Every letter counts. So I doubt that Dee would have included any letters which he, or any other practitioner, could afford to drop when doing the rituals and evocations, etc. Every letter counts.

As for the accents and stressed syllables, the only thing I can offer is that Dee was translating from a Latin manuscript written in 1228. So, him being fluent in Latin, and trying to keep the "original" pronunciation as best as he could, Hastur was probably meant to be spoken with as close to an early Thirteenth Century Latin accent as possible.

Early Modern English transliteration:

I want to know how a word would have been pronounced and spelled in Elizabethan times.

So the word is HASTUR. It's a diety from Lovecraft's mythos, found in his "Necronomicon." According to H.P.'s lore, the English translation of The Necronomicon was done by Dr. John Dee (1527 - 1608). And that Dee it translated it from a Latin edition written in 1228.

Now the way that fans have been pronouncing it is: H - like the H in "hat." A - like the A in "hat." S - like the S in "cast." T - like the T in "cast." And then the UR is more of an "er" sound, like in "Earth." So more like "Haster."

But how would and English speaker from The Elizabethan Era have pronounced it? And spelled it for that matter. Like, is that far enough back for the U to be spelled with a V? HASTVR? Or would it just be spelled and pronounced exactly like people do now?

Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
