    Typo in "The Burdens We Bear"



    "A thousand thousand"? Either "A thousand" or "Thousands and thousands of", I would think.

    It is funny how fancy back then meant speaking as literally as possible. 1000x1000=1,000,000

    You'd be no fun as an editor, then, if you're getting red ink all over the writers' attempts to be a little poetic.

    Sometimes I wonder if a lot of players just don't read much; there seem to be a lot of complaints from people who think turns of phrase like this are grammatical errors when they're really just deliberately archaic for effect. Did they not have you read Shakespeare in high school anymore?
