Still, Lone Wolf manages it so I guess I should stop complaining ;)]" If it were a hiking expedition, Naismith's Rule <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith%27s_Rule> would say it takes just over 45 hours. I think it's plausible, given that Lone Wolf is a Grand Master and can no doubt manage a two-day hike without rest and faster than average, but it does underscore just how desperate a mission this is.
Rejected! This is why we need people with lots of different interests involved in Project Aon. (Naismith's Rule?!)
(er) 8, 339: greystone -> grey stone The real question is, do we treat this as simply describing stone that is grey, or is it a specific stone, like bluestone? (er) 12: to find out who they are -> to find out who it is [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007: singular to agree with antecedent 'somebody'] Agreed. (er) 124: everyone gets to their feet -> all get to their feet [LeRoy McSwain, Jan 2007] I don't see a problem with the original. (er) 185: towheaded -> tow-headed [??] No, "towhead" and "towheaded" are the correct forms, as far as I know.
So it is: <http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/towheaded> Rejected!
(er) 14: "a horde of undead warriors leap -> a horde of undead warriors leaps [LeRoy McSwain, Mar 2007] [TP: Disagreed. Nouns like 'horde' are often interchangeable between singular and plural forms, depending on whether they are construed as being 'a group treated as one entity' or 'a number of...' (cf. 'some', 'lots': 'some of my friends are coming', not 'is coming').]" Wow. These comments from me must have come at a time when I was a lot more willing to commit to one side or the other of singular vs. plural issues! :-P
What? No, you're not allowed to change your mind! :-pWell, that was an epic fail: I was trying to list things I thought would be easy to decide on, but then people go and change their minds on their existing comments. It's a conspiracy, I tells ya! Still, two have been Rejected almost immediately, which is something. And the "man whom" instance in Book 14 will be Fixed later. Which brings us back down to 12, which is the per-weekly norm.
