Perhaps spelling mistake.
Not sure if this is even classed as a bug or spelling mistake or what. Or perhaps it's totally in character of Hoary Durotzel.
Not sure how to report bugs ingame so if someone can tell me I'll do that

CTraveler✭✭✭It's a common turn-of-phrase that I've heard for a long time, generally "A X is a X is a X" with "X" being replaced by a single thing, although occasionally it's mixed up as "A X is a Y is a Z", *shrug.*

I would understand if it said "A staff is a staff" but just looks kinda odd having it down 3 times. Perhaps it's just me then.0

Thank-you for the replies guys and helping me understand
As a side note. Is there any other relative place I could have made this post? I couldn't seem to find a more suitable place to make this discussion.Edited by Mindrustia on April 7, 2014 1:25AM0 -

If you find something wrong, just do a /bug in game. You wont' receive any acknowledgement. Just give the book's name and the error.Mindrustia wrote: »Is there any other relative place I could have made this post? I couldn't seem to find a more suitable place to make this discussion.0 -
Ageless✭✭✭Though there are spelling mistakes in the game. I just saw Shalidor make two in a row:
Formidible?
Knoweldge?
Jord.

To OP, this is a very old convention, shakespeare even used it (and that's nearly as old as English gets)

Nearly as old as English gets? Um... No. Try Chaucer or even the Saga of Beowulf.Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll...

Okay, with Chaucer you have a point, he lived two hundred and fiftyish years before Shakespeare, and wrote the first true English books, but most of the Literature after him was just translations of stuff going on abroad. There was some genuine english literature written, but most of it has either been rewritten or lost. Which Is why I said Shakespeare is NEARLY as old as english gets.AlexDougherty wrote: »To OP, this is a very old convention, shakespeare even used it (and that's nearly as old as English gets)

As for Beowulf, that was a Saxon tale written in Anglo-Saxon not English, it was later translated, but it was written in a different language and some parts are badly phrased because of this.

llXll✭the game is riddled with "spelling mistakes".
one moment they're using the english "arse" the rest of the time it's all americanisms.. ize instead of ise etc etc, is kinda frustrating knowing that for those that english is not the first language think that they're reading english spellings.
does not help them if they're still learning english.
seems a bit lazy to not have it regionalised.
and sadly being english i'll be in the minority with this opinion.
beowulf was written in old english, oddly if you see old english it looks scandinavian l0l
(Beowulf is the conventional title of an Old English epic poem consisting of 3182 alliterative long lines, set in Scandinavia, commonly cited as one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature to the fact that it is the oldest surviving epic poem of Old English and also the earliest vernacular English literature.)
