TP proofs coming in prompted me to reread the book. On page 193, one character says "What do you know about steganography?" I immediately perked up because that's an area where I've done some novel research. I thought, hey, I might be able to contribute something of meaning here. The next line is "I don't even know how to pronounce it." This may be a minor quibble but...you can't pronounce something that was just said to you? I'm more than willing to give that it's presented as text, but a more accurate way would be to change it to "I don't even know how to spell it." or "I can't even spell it."
What with the speaking and all? Man, I don't even get a check for $2.56 or anything. |

Hearing someone say something does not equal being able to pronounce it yourself. Ask anyone who has tried to learn to speak a foreign language.

It isn't a mistake it is a joke, How can this not be abundantly clear?
I mean, it's obvious. It isn't open to interpretation. Guys. Come on. Analysis to the point of complete invention is a problem. |
