But "venone orrible" seems to be a Spanish string, not an Italian one. Time for an <sp> tag?

interesting, altho' wouldn't horrible in Spanish have an "h"? Although, spelling was no doubt fluid. But venone does seem to be spanish. Anyway, Spanish tags...ok <sp> seems reasonable.

It's actually veneno, Tianna's autocorrect must have changed the word inadvertently. "Veneno orrible" is most likely Spanish (the h is not used consistently at that time).
