I mean sheesh Ishkak Bronet Karzak… To be fair I think the translator was more to blame than Torro. While I do read spanish, I was not interested enough to pick up a copy of the book in its original Spanish. ---

While I do read spanish, I was not interested enough to pick up a copy of the book in its original Spanish. Believe it or not, it was originally written in English. There was a thread discussing it a while back. Pel is the penname of an English cleric who gushed out books. He wrote in a strange way. He had tape recorders all over his house, and when he wrote he wandered around dictating the story, to be later transcribed. And the drift in this thread shows that with the IPU, all things are possible. 😉 ---

You people are making these simplistic, insulting and dismissive comments about IPFU’s. These things have been studied by scholars for thousands of years but you just walz in and think you can understand. These things are very very complicated.
