“E” or “O”...?
A comment in the “It Was Sugar!” post wondered if "castor" with an "O" was the American spelling for caster sugar, or a typo.
It’s a typo, but one with an interesting history.
*****
“CastOr” is the spelling when referring to castor oil (pressed from castor beans) and, even older, a hat made from felted beaver fur (Castor canadiensis).
Fans of historical fiction might occasionally read that a character “doffed their castor” - meaning, raised or removed their hat in a token of good manners to ladies or respect to superiors.
"CastEr" is the spelling for a container (or its contents) for strewing, sprinkling or throwing, as in "cast aside" or “cast a shadow”.
In homophones (same-sounding words) such as sow / sew, rein / rain, peal / peel, breach / breech etc., just one letter gives the different meaning.
Words like “cast”, however, depend on context - cast a spell, cast a bell, cast a role, arm in a cast, cast in an eye, cast of the show...
English is like that.
*****
Besides sugar casters for sprinkling sugar, there were “sand casters” of wood, ceramic or metal, which contained the powder used to blot ink before or instead of blotting-paper.
This powder might be fine sand or ground sandarac resin (two reasons for “sand caster”) but also ground cuttlefish bone, or ground pumice which was called “pounce” - the French for pumice stone is “pierre ponce” - in which case the container was called a “pounce pot”.
Blotting a letter with sand or pounce may even be the origin of the phrase “done and dusted”, meaning “job all done”, though that might just derive from a room or house completely cleaned, so YMMV.
Its use is often seen in historical films, though they often get the end of the action wrong by showing writers blowing or shaking the powder off onto the floor.
In fact blotting powder was re-usable, and was poured off the paper back into the pot, whose top was often funnel-shaped to make that easier.
Using sand or pounce continued until fairly recently: here’s a silver writing set - inkstand with matching inkwell and pounce pot / sander - hallmarked 1908.
Fountain-pens were already in use (mass-produced since 1880) though prone to leakage until that problem was fixed in, surprise,1908, so it’s not surprising that this handsome set relied on dip pens. Also, it was probably on the desk of An Important Person who had to write little more than signatures.
The pounce pot is a curious anachronism; I’ve read one source suggesting pounce and sand continued in use because they was cheap, but penny-pinching doesn’t seem an issue here.
Maybe used blotting-paper was considered unsightly, whether as a sheet or mounted on one of those rocker-blotters still used occasionally when signing treaties.
Or maybe pounce was considered more secure; if blotting-paper picks up a good reverse impression of the writing, it can be mirror-read; there’s no way to mirror-read anything from powder.
Writer Note; a fantasy story could mention a spell which makes the pounce or sand reassemble itself as the words it blotted, so re-use is done for more than mere economy. Each time pounce is poured back into the pot it gets a thorough shaking, that world’s version of a micro-cut paper shredder or multi-pass disc wipe.
This was originally about spelling variations, so yet again I seem to have wandered a bit off-topic
I do like the silver desk-set, though.

STRAY KIDS OFFICIAL COLOR THEORY
Realgar also known as “ruby sulphur” or “ruby of arsenic”, is an arsenic sulfide mineral with the chemical formula α-As4S4. It is a soft, sectile mineral occurring in monoclinic crystals, or in granular, compact, or powdery form, often in association with the related mineral, orpiment (As2S3). It is orange-red in color, melts at 320 °C, and burns with a bluish flame releasing fumes of arsenic and sulfur. Realgar is soft with a Mohs hardness of 1.5 to 2 and has a specific gravity of 3.5. Its streak is orange colored. It is trimorphous with pararealgar and bonazziite.
Its name comes from the Arabic rahj al-ġār (“powder of the mine”), via Medieval Latin, and its earliest record in English is in the 1390s.
Realgar was used by firework manufacturers to create the color white in fireworks prior to the availability of powdered metals such as aluminium, magnesium and titanium. It is still used in combination with potassium chlorate to make a contact explosive known as “red explosive” for some types of torpedoes and other novelty exploding fireworks branded as “cracker balls”, as well in the cores of some types of crackling stars.
Realgar is toxic. It was sometimes used to kill weeds, insects, and rodents, even though more effective arsenic-based anti-pest agents are available such as cacodylic acid, (CH3)2As(O)OH, an organoarsenic compound used as herbicide and also to kill ants and mice.
Realgar was commonly used in leather manufacturing to remove hair from animal pelts. Because it is a known carcinogen and an arsenic poison, and because substitutes are available, it is rarely used today for this purpose.
The ancient Greeks, who called realgar (sandarákē), understood that it was poisonous. From this, realgar has also historically been known in English as “sandarac”.
Realgar was also used by Ancient Greek apothecaries to make a medicine known as “bull's blood”. The Greek physician Nicander described a death by “bull's blood”, which matches the known effects of arsenic poisoning. Bull's blood is the poison that is said to have been used by Themistocles and Midas for suicide.
After a long period of exposure to light, realgar changes form to a yellow powder known as pararealgar (β-As4S4). It was once thought that this powder was the yellow sulfide orpiment, but is a distinct chemical compound.
In China, the traditional Chinese medicine still plays an important role in the treatment of various diseases. The traditional Chinese medicine Realgar (mainly As4S4, tetraarsenic tetrasulfide) has been used well in the treatment of both internal and external diseases, such as infection, inflammation, fever, mouth ulcers, tongue ulcers, headache, and convulsion, even some skin disease.
Realgar is said to heal emotional trauma and aid in mental health. Promotes positive thinking and provides insight.

How is Resin Derived?
Resin is a solid and highly viscous substance that can be naturally sourced from plants or derived from synthetic materials whose natural origin were convertible to polymers.
Plants secrete resins as their protective adaptation to injuries or against harmful insects and pathogens. Wide range of herbivores, insects, and pathogens are confounded with resin. Volatile phenolic compounds attract benefactors such as parasitoids or predators of the herbivores that attack plants.
Plant resins are valued for the production of varnishes, adhesives, and food glazing agents. They are also prized as raw materials for the synthesis of other organic compounds and provide constituents of incense and perfume.
The hard transparent resins like copals, dammars, mastic, and sandarac are principally used for varnishes and adhesives. The softer odoriferous oleo-resins like the frankincense, elemi, turpentine, copaiba and the gum-resins containing oils like the ammoniacum, asafoetida, gamboge, myrrh, and scammony are more used for therapeutic purposes, food and incense.
Use of resin by humans dates back to late Middle Stone Age in Southern Africa where it was used as an adhesive for hafting stone tools. During Ancient Rome times. Resin was a highly prized substance during Ancient Rome used in making frankincense and myrrh. From French resine, Larin resina, and Greek rhetine, the word ‘resin’ has been applied in the modern world to nearly any component of a liquir that will set into a hard lacquer or enamel-like finish like the nail polish, casting resins, epoxy resins, and many other synthetic resins.
Synthetic resins are produced in many ways. Epoxy glue is derived from the bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and hardening compounds. Silicones are often prepared from silicone resins via room temperature vulcanization. Alkyd resins are hardened or cured by exposure to oxygen for use in paints and varnishes.
Resin decals are just one of the many products made of synthetic resins. They are called decals coming from the word- ‘decalcomania’ which is a technique for transferring images onto plain and smooth surfaces like glass or porcelain using heat or water. The term- ‘resin decal’ has been referred to in vernacular as ‘decorative sticker’. Decals are similar to stickers, but they don't use a sticky substance for adhering to the new surface.
A decal consists of a picture, image, pattern, or design that's printed on a special paper, plastic, or cloth. By holding a hot iron on the back of the decal, or dabbing a small amount of water on it, the image can be moved onto a new surface.
Resin stickers Brisbane are made from polyurethane. Many companies and personalities use resin stickers Brisbane for their branding and campaign. Resin decals can be customized depending on the particular theme, brand, or purpose. They come as resin stickers with attractive designs. They are often used as labels on IT equipment parts, industrial equipment and appliances, electrical goods, bottle taps, food packaging, and the like. Resin stickers Bribane are also used to enhance appearance like in garage doors, car parts and accessories, and parts of all sorts of machine parts. They come in key tags, badges, and giftware.
