==Errors - speaking what you say==
On "Uh, presumably that was supposed to be 'speak everything they think.'" - in context, that reading doesn't really make sense. Windblade is talking about subtext, so "say" means "communicate," whether directly or indirectly, as opposed to "speak," meaning to voice aloud - "think" would make the whole statement a non sequitur.
It's ... kind of a clever line, actually?

Are we sure that Prowls' descriptor on the cast page is an error? Listing his function as "Prowl" is quite apt. Howling Fist (talk) 11:55, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

Name: "Prowl", function: "Prick"... Riptide (talk) 12:00, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

I'd be more hesitant to call it an error if the rest of the issue wasn't choked with 'em. - Chris McFeely (talk) 12:20, 22 April 2015 (EDT)
Fair point. I'd construed it as a joke, but yeah given the rest of the issue it could easily be an error. Howling Fist (talk) 14:01, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

Errors - speaking what you say

On "Uh, presumably that was supposed to be 'speak everything they think.'" - in context, that reading doesn't really make sense. Windblade is talking about subtext, so "say" means "communicate," whether directly or indirectly, as opposed to "speak," meaning to voice aloud - "think" would make the whole statement a non sequitur.

It's ... kind of a clever line, actually?
