Or it could be that I read every book 5 times, but like 10 years ago newyorkersedai Send a noteboard - 26/01/2011 05:35:46 AM
My memory is pretty sharp, but remembering whether RJ used "sweated" would be a bit much. To say that the rest of my criticism (which were written very quickly and were brief, contrary to my usual style) is completely discounted because "sweated" has been used before - that's kind of missing the point of all those other words I wrote.

No, it doesn't. It "discredits greatly" one of his points, not the main argument. *NM* *NM* Cynewulf - 24/01/2011 06:57:38 PM 521 Views

Sweated is a word. *NM* fionwe1987 - 24/01/2011 02:45:57 AM 499 Views
Is it? Would you ever write "I had sweated" or "having sweated for an hour?" *NM* newyorkersedai - 24/01/2011 11:17:04 PM 530 Views
No, because it is not a participle. ranagrande - 24/01/2011 11:36:12 PM 1112 Views
Sure it is moratcorlm - 25/01/2011 11:31:29 AM 1145 Views
No. I have written: I sweated a lot when I was in India. *NM* fionwe1987 - 25/01/2011 12:16:39 AM 507 Views

I really don't want to come off as a jerk, but really? WoT has never had good writing. Ghavrel - 26/01/2011 07:18:03 AM 954 Views
If you hate his writing so much then don't read the final book. *NM* everynametaken - 07/02/2011 03:39:43 AM 684 Views
