Contractions Terez Send a noteboard - 20/09/2012 05:16:56 AM
RJ used contractions in dialogue, but not in the narrative. He also had characters like Moiraine who never used contractions in the dialogue. Brandon uses them wherever. And yes, writing style is a huge part of why I love WoT.

My point would have been lost, since "people" is used in WoT-proper for mixed groups. *NM* Cannoli - 19/09/2012 11:12:58 PM 456 Views
