    The short form for tomestones is tomes not tombs

    Running WP doesn't make you The Undertaker, they're called tomestones, if you're illiterate and need a shorter word they're called tomes.

    It's so funny that some people actually calling it tombs or tombstone.

    Tombs/Tomes, I don't make a big deal out of it. I understand the point people make.

    It's basically a brain thing, all the letters are there but only one letter is different so the natural pattern recognition of the brain fills it in as tombstone, as TOMEstone isn't a word.

    LOL, I'm glad someone else pointed this out!

    Tomb = Burial chamber
    Tome = A large or scholarly book

    Just a slight difference in meaning there. /facepalm

    Yah the English localization team didn't choose the best word combo for these items lol They make more sense in other languages. They're basically Allagan e-readers.
