Why would you? You're probably the only person to use that word in the last hundred years. When your book comes out, you will practically own it.Hugh Howey said:

I hereby predict that the word "smote" will consequently make its way back into common usage. I hear the NYT is already on the phone with their beat writers. 
(And if not the NYT, then at least a whole bunch of indie author's books)
p.s. Methinks Krista will be pleased.

We'll see what the betas have to say about this. If they don't like the usage -- and you never hear from them again -- I likely smote them all.KayBratt said:You sure are getting stubborn in your newfound success.

Hugh Howey wrote it + it has the word "smote" = auto-buy
It's a tragically underused word. But I'm weird.

Careful. Smote and smite are like those those little red peppers in Chinese food. Too many and it gives you the hiccups...JanneCO said:I use smite AND smote in my third book. TWICE. So there.
I don't know. I forget what I've written after I write it.
