Yumi and the Nightmare Painter Typo Thread

[Chaos he/him]

Post any Yumi typos here! 

[Jofwu he/him]

On page 42 missed a lowercase "physical realm" that should be capitalized.

“I’m. Trying. Not. To ccream. Right now,” Yumi said between gasps.

Should be "scream".

Gamma Readers include many of the beta readers... 

Readers is not capitalized for the betas, alphas, or for the gammas in the PDF. 

[Wit Beyond Measure]

This is in the digital version at the very end of Chapter 4, and it might not be a typo. I could just not be understanding the use of the word "saw," here.

But eventually, the last supplicant bowed and hurried away with his new spirit saw.

A saw.

You know, for cutting wood?

Have to admit I giggled a little at the typo, though!

I snickered at it as well. I am a child.

You were right about the lat press. Look.

The lats are a pulling muscle in the back, and hence can't preform a pressing motion. Maybe should be bench press/chest press or lat pulldown?

I took that to mean Delts - since that is the paired motion (Lat pull-down / Overhead Press)

Yeah the lats can refer to the medial deltoid, but an overhead press is more front delts. There's lat (lateral) raises, but I still wouldn't call it a press. You're still pulling the weight up. 

[PeterAhlstrom he/him]

Maybe they have something they call a lat press that we would call by a different name.

I'm sorry, sir. If normal Cosmere "translation" is in effect, then if they were referring to a muscle other than latissimus dorsi, then should it not have "translated" to the appropriate muscle. Do we have any other examples of Object A being called Object B when both names are valid, but different (and not a subset, like some Stormlight Vocabulary) IRL? Otherwise, it's likely it should be one of the following:

• lat raise
• delt press
• overhead press

Depending on which part of the back the author intended to showcase. 

Context - YNP Ch 21:

Spoiler

“Gaino,” Tojin said to the overly large man. “You were right about the lat press. Look.” He proceeded to take off his shirt and flex.

Yumi watched with eyes wide. Yes, glimpses of Painter when bathing had been one thing, but this was…illustrative. She barely remembered to chew her noodles as several other very large men at the table clapped for Tojin.

“What were your reps?” Gaino asked.

“Four twenties,” Tojin said. “But if you lean forward instead of back, you can really isolate.”

“I’m plateauing,” another guy said, then flexed one of his arms. “Need to lose at least another percent. See here, you can barely see my outline.”

“You look great,” Tojin said. Then he flexed his arm. “But maybe try some bench work with some reverse presses?”

Context makes it sould like it should be delt/overhead press (based on the lean description). 

Hope that helps
