English for Wargamers

OK, I normally try not to be too tight about these things.  But just as a reminder:

This is a HORDE:

 

This is a HOARD:

Just remember this simple mnemonic device and you'll do fine:

"The horde of dragons rested on the hoard of gold they had earned from when they whored themselves out."
