I love to listen to audiobooks when I'm doing other stuff, but it makes knowing how names are spelled hard. |D

Brought to you by not realising that what I thought FOR A WHOLE BOOK was 'Elk Sidaal' was actually 'Elxa Dal'.

rotfl

yeah, I've seen people who only listened to the audiobook ask questions about some character or other and getting a "WHO?" in response

It's so weird. XD It's funny, 'cos one book I like (Will Save the Galaxy For Food by Yahtzee Croshaw) has a sequel that got its release on Audible first.

And when it got released as a print book, he said "All the same words, but now you know how all the names are spelled."

Which I can imagine is a question he gets a lot. In one of his other books released in that format order (Differently Morphous) there was a character called.... Doctor Diablerie? Or something similar? But nobody has any way to know. So I expect he got asked a lot. XD

I've found myself googling all the names of the characters from this book now so I don't make any Elxa Dal mistakes again. Most're as I expected though. XD

oh good XD

That's so wild

It's crazy when something is spelled wildly different than it sounds.

It's so weird! It makes me wonder how things changed over time back when and/or in locations/cultures where oral histories are over written ones.
