	In Response To: Fatum Iustum Stultorum (Philtron) : But anyway, tell me. Is Yrro a typo? How about S'boath? Are those typos? Or : is there an interview with Double Aught where they explicitly state that : they deliberately spelled alien words differently to give the sense of a : translator having difficulty putting alien words into human text? ... : setting that interview aside... Or do the alt spellings underscore the : motif of a malleable reality that is woven throughout the game? : But let's set all that aside for a moment. There is a type of pedantry you : see on social media these days where someone makes a mild typo and egoists : descend to correct the typo, presumably so they can have a fleeting sense : of superiority over someone. : You have surpassed those pedants by being so petty that within a lengthy : series of posts about a complicated story, you decided to vent your anger : against me by focusing your attention on a tiny correction to my spelling : of a make-believe word, from a non-existent, alien language, that is : spelled in at least two different ways in a narrative where the writers : admitted they spelled alien words in different ways to deliberately to : convey a sense of alienness and in which these alternate spellings would : also support other motifs taking place in the games. But let's pretend : none of that is true... : Good job. : You did it. : You won. : You found a mistake I made that does not affect anything about the story or : the analysis of the story in any way. : What now? Where do you go from here, champion, when you've attained such : heights? Wouldn't be the first time he's done this exact same thing. I share your frustration, Philtron. I'll just leave it at that.
