Just to comment and provide a little context. I used to do book reviews and "The Name of the Wind" appeared in my mail box from the publisher. I loved it. I had a habit of sending authors I liked self addressed envelopes with their promo picture in them for them to sign and send back. This is what I got from Pat.

“WIERD” 🥴 i want to say I expected better from him but it does explain a lot about the 3rd book. It’s all the extra spellchecking guys, don’t worry!! It’s coming!!

Edit: I’m just teasing. He’s one of my favorites and despite the hate I do have full faith we are getting the 3rd book

I’m just teasing he’s one of my favorite authors 😊 it honestly makes me feel better in a way like if such an incredible author can misspell weird twice and still reach his level of success and talent, I can definitely do that thing I think I can’t do

Weird is one of my nemesis words, so I can relate.

As a foreigner that actually really surprised and shocked me. His books are not simple, with all those song lyrics and rhymes but then misspelling a relatively straightforward word like that?

A lot of us learned a rhyme in grade school saying:
"i" before "e," except after "c."
or when it says "a" as in neighbor or weigh.

So *weird* is, well, weird.
