don't confuse "mistake" with "plot device" moondog Send a noteboard - 30/11/2009 01:31:30 AM
the mistakes most notable to me were people calling rand Dragon, or Lord Dragon, instead of My Lord Dragon.

and also in the chapter where Semirhage bites the dust, Min calls Rand looby. wtf does that mean anyways?


an author is free to use whatever language he/she prefers as long as the intent is understood by the reader. and a character giving rand a different honorific is not a mistake.
