The short form for tomestones is tomes not tombs

It's even funnier that you lame grammar nazi's care enough to make a thread about it.

And people who don't care about spelling and grammar are why the US schools no longer teach cursive (public schools)... Good luck signing your name when you don't know script.

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

Tome and tomb are both (basically) pronounced the same way. Tombstone is a word outside of this game, tomestone is not (as someone earlier pointed out). I can easily see why people go with tomb if not reading carefully (our mind does kind of "autocorrect for us a lot). Really not that big of a deal to me.

I'm sorry, not exactly the same way, but close enough to the same that they can easily be read the same way when taking the entire "tomestone" word into account. Much the same way your brain will miss extra an extra "the" in a sentence, or be able to read a word with the letters all jumbled, as long as the first and last letter are the same. Since the whole word is "tomestone" and can easily be mistaken using that logic for "tombstone".. the shortened version becomes tomb. Again, not really that big of a deal.

I know the correct spelling is Tomestone but I keep thinking Tombstone anyway.

What the hell is a tomestone anyway?
