static in the Goblin King's Court

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: static has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

Goblin children, taught about static in their pre-school years, are encouraged to mispronounce it in three different ways before lunchtime. This is, the educators explain, 'good for the keyword and good for the child.'

The Goblin Verdict on static

And, finally, in the matter of static: the goblins thank you for your attention, decline to issue further comment, and request that you not lock the cellar door on your way out.
