    Typo in "An Unreasonable Request"

    I'm pretty sure it should be "thing" instead of "think".

    Won't let me embed image, so here:

    Hi! Welcome to the forums!

    This is not a typo. The localization team often chooses the older forms of words and expressions in order to make the game feel purposely old timey.

Another thing coming appears to have come about in American English several decades later, probably as a result of confusion regarding the original phrase. Another thing is the more recent turn of phrase and now is more common, though it is frequently criticized.

    Thanks for the reply. I had a friend mention this as well, but I couldn't find a way to delete this thread. At the very least, I learned something.
