Spawn, IN-deed-y

Until this week, I thought spawn was a word that probably went out of style in academic literature with the scholastics and certainly after Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation. In the last week however, I have read half a dozen articles that use the word. It may be bad science in real life, but the rules of the real world don't apply to videogames, and thus the semi-random spawning of characters.

I also came across the word indeedy yesterday. To the best of my knowledge, this is not a real word, though I don't think it is a typo either. The "Y" key is not near the "D" key or the "N" key (the last two keys pressed by either hand when typing the word "indeed"). But when repeated twice, placing emphasis on the first syllable and using my very best traveling apothecary voice, it is a delightful sounding word.
