After re-reading TGS and Distinctions I was just wondering what mistakes you've noticed that sanderson made that irk you. nothing that really changes the flow of the story mind you, but the little things.
in TGS for example, people calling rand the Dragon instead of the Dragon Reborn. For example whene egwene is talking to some aes sedai she refers to him as the dragon.
or in distinctions when graendal curses Light! when she's about to be bf'd or referring to the Great Lord as the Dark One.
but the one that irks me the most is that he seems to be using the words weaving when he has the forsaken/rand channeling. if you look at any of the earlier books all the AOL channelers reffer to it as spinning webs, not weavings weaves.
how about you guys?

I think this is the type of info that RJ never got around to revealing.

Particularly the way he described sex. It reeked of Mormon discomfort with the topic.

Reeked? Great word. It seemed quite in line with RJ's own dealings with the topic. *NM*

RJ had great sexual humor--he even went a little overboard sometimes IMO

RJ said breasts all the time, but in a more clinical manner - folding arms under breasts, etc
