    While progressing through the "Little Saboteurs" story line, after speaking to Seserukka and Popkkuli at the Carline Canopy, if one speaks with V'korolon at the inn counter she says:

    V'korolon: Raaawr! At this rate, all of my custom is going to pack up and leave... Oh, Amajina & Sons will rue this day!

    "custom" can be (and in this game, frequently is) used in place of "customers". I'm not sure I like it all that much, but it is what it is. If nothing else, it adds a little flavor, and that ain't no bad thing.

    Well, it makes my brain twitch, but I can't really argue with a viable definition. Thanks for the heads up.
