In the scene where Perrin inspects the wagons, he muses:
"Perrin continued working with the wheel; he wasn't as familiar with carpentry as he was with smithing, but his father had taught each of his sons to recognize signs of trouble in a wagon."
"Each of his sons" sounds to me as if Perrin had several brothers. However, according to Encyclopaedia WoT Perrin had only one brother, Paetram, and two sisters. Paetram was nine, when he was killed by Fain in TSR. He was eight when Perrin left the Two Rivers in EotW. It seems a bit unlikely to teach a boy that young to inspect wagons, or not?

Nah, not too young to teach the basics. On a farm, they'd learn even earlier I'd think. *NM*

Definitely 110% for sure and probably younger than that. (I live in Nebraska).

I learned to drive the truck when feeding cattle at 5 or 6. Farm kids learn stuff. *NM*

And the rest of the book supports an argument that proper wording is not B-Sand's strong suit.

Considering that Perrin is a moron, I would be very surprised if that were the case. *NM*
