Re: We don't know if those memories help Mat spell. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 11/11/2010 02:48:57 PM
He doesn't seem to have all the memories of all of those lives. He seems to have memories related to battles. If Mat had all of the knowlege of every guy that is in his head then I would agree with you. But to me it seems that he doesn't.

Being able to speak a language does not equate to being able to read or write in that language. I have met many illiterate English speakers, and I have met many more that speak very well, read fine, and write very poorly.

Besides, Mat already seemed to have some ability in the old tongue before he got everybody's battle memories. I think it is very probable that Mat would spell poorly in the common tongue.


Good point. I have similar problems myself. You REALLY do not want to try to read something that I hand wrote, especially if I do it quickly.

cixelsyd ma I :)

I found that part stupid. Mat's crossing out words because he changed his mind was okay, but ... - 10/11/2010 10:01:10 PM 938 Views
I don't think it was meant to show him as an idiot. - 10/11/2010 10:10:02 PM 836 Views

We've seen a letter from him. He wrote it in a single draft with Tylin in the room - 11/11/2010 05:13:01 AM 938 Views
Yeah, that's a continuity error. - 11/11/2010 05:19:34 AM 888 Views
