Had a funny turn trying to find the Bosmer crafting books in our guild bank, and it turned out that at some point they got changed to Wood-Elf. A bunch of us were confused because we KNEW we had some in there, but kept overlooking "wood elf".

Am i going crazy? And why? Wood-Elf is different naming pattern from Altmer, Dunmer, etc style of title.

    Wood elves are not made of wood.
    Sea elves are not made of water.

    To this day I still have to take a second to think of what a Dunmer or Bosmer even is....

    On topic though, it's weird they changed only one of them :/

    It's weird they change any of them. Bosmer is bosmer in TES lore, not wood elf. You can heart wood elf sometimes, but that's not their real race name. I'm sad every time I see "wood/dark/high elf" or "orc" anywhere else than in character dialog and "common" book. When we choose our race, we have to choose bosmer, not wood elf (same with every mer race). We are on a Elder Scroll game, not a classic fantasy game, keep the real name ZOS please.

    It's weird that they changed any of them. It's really weird that they changed one and not the others.

    Just as Bosmer refers to the Wood-Elfs, and Altmer to the High-Elfs, so does Orsimer to the Orcs, and Dunmer to the Dwarves.
    Baskin Robbins always finds out.

    Dunmer = Dark-Elves
    Dwemer = Deep-Elves/Dwarves
