Given how poorly edited both books have been so far Chas Send a noteboard - 30/11/2010 01:13:58 AM
he's just not as literate which would account for his lack of vocab.


Mat has written a one-shot letter before, while he was nervous because Tylin was in the room, and his spelling was perfectly fine.


All of the characters are now different. There is no question. The author is different and therefore the new author's interpretation of Mat is different. We are seeing mat as BS sees him.

Team Jordan okay'd this written letter from mat so it must not be too far fetched.


I wouldn't exactly call that a vote of confidence. For everything else though, the man is doing the best he can with what he has been given.

I love Ituralde, slightly A-teamish but better more realistic than most of the stuff in there *NM* Iceman - 29/11/2010 03:15:03 PM 600 Views
I agree here. Fox and Ravens - 29/11/2010 04:23:37 PM 1177 Views

Well I'm pretty sure he wrote it out himself. I doubt that's a detail RJ would have outlined. LadyLorraine - 29/11/2010 11:16:42 PM 1217 Views

agrees and it would also jeopardize her standing even if she passed the test because that would Onarishma - 02/12/2010 04:51:03 PM 1052 Views
