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.

Agreed. And isn't people the plural for person? *NM* Dark Knight - 19/09/2012 10:50:22 PM 447 Views
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 413 Views
