Orphalesion Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Why, the MOOt? Sounds like a cow :D kingsmoooot I don't understand it either why that word is so bad. "Moot" is an archaic word for a council called together specifically to debate and decide a matter of great and common importance. It fits because it is an old tradition, not practiced since the Targaryen Conquest. In general I don' get the people who complain about archaic words because they are archaic and outdated. The book is set in a place that is the equivalent of the Middle Ages. How do you want the people to sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfyre Bastard Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 As English is not my mother tongue, I appreciate all those archaic words that you can't stand. They give an old, medieval feel to the story.Having said that, I really cringe every time a meal is described and they get to the "Wash down" part.Also, somewhat related, I find peculiar the word "flagon."

Jaime4Brienne Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 A lot of the complaints I'm seeing are words used in other countries. Arse is used in England and so is bitch for a female dog. (me being from the states every time I hear that I cringe) They ALL say bitch,no one says female dog here. Another one I saw was someone didn't like how Jaime was spelled but I read it's spelled like that in other countries and G.R.R didn't just make it up.Nuncle is the worst!

The Great and Mighty Poo Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I'm not bothered by word choice. Probably because when it comes to English(my one and only language, sadly) I'm a neanderthal stunted by blunt force trauma to the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
