So if you're on this site, you might have read this book. Or you might be reading this book right now. Either way, I want your help. Despite the fact that this has been read over and over and over, there might still be mistakes in it. Heck, you can find mistakes in nearly every book out there (found a couple when I read through the most recent edition of Lord of the Rings recently).
I want to know about these mistakes. If you find something wrong, please post it on this thread so I can correct it for the next edition of the book.
Thanks for the help and thanks for reading.

Hello, I have read the script, not the book. So I have a question : what is a "giraf" p51 of the script, in the passage where Karian says : "The council will convene in four girafs" ? Is it meant to be pronounced as the animal species ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.

Nata, I'm going to assume it's the harder 'g' sound, as in 'get, goiter, gonad', and not the 'giraffe' sounding 'g'. That's who I'd do it, anyway. With George, there's no telling.

I have to admit that I stopped regularly checking this board when I got no visits shortly after creating it. No activity breeds no activity and all that. I was surprised not only to find a post from over a year ago, but a reply to it. That being said, I'll answer the question (finally).
The intent with the word giraf (which is pronounced with a hard 'g' as peaches pointed out) was that this is a group of people outside of society and would have their own sense of time as well as their own word for it. A giraf was supposed to be a unit of time, but as time wore on, and I wrote more, that one reference is all that survived of that notion, though I kept it into the book version as well.
