Nerds everywhere -- or at least in my house -- were apoplectic on finding two massive errors on facing pages of yesterday's New York Times. First, an article on the new language created for Jade Empire says that "In a twist, Tho Fan would do without the verb 'to be.'" Considering that the article spends a fair amount of time acknowledging the last true invented language, Klingon, shouldn't the writer know that Klingon was also originally created without "to be"? Hrumph!
But far more unforgivable is this: "The BBC has announced who will play Doctor Who in the next 13-part series of the cult science-fiction television show of the same name."
If I have to explain to you what's wrong with that you don't belong on this blog, or are here because the link from Drunken Stepfather [NSFW] fooled you into thinking there'd be celebrity nudity here. (Only sometimes, sorry).
