*Maybe Hrekin is the one from Fedalle, and Threkin is the Alderaanian one? It's been ages since I read DA or TCOPL so that's why my knowledge on this particular issue is a bit rusty.... *
That makes sense to me.  |

I always assumed they were the same guy, but I haven't been keeping close track of either one, so I don't have a strong opinion.
The Unofficial Encyclopedia says Hrekin Thorm was only in Dark Apprentice.
(Side question: that link says he's from the planet Fedalle. In TCOPL, didn't it say he was from Alderaan? Otherwise why would he be on the Alderaan Council?)
But if he dies in TG then I guess they must be different.

If they are not different then there's a severe continuity issue as one of them bites the dust in TG and the other pops up later on

The mountains of Coruscant go by two different spellings, if memory serves.
Manarai Mountains.
Are Hrekin Thorm and Threkin Horm different people, or was there just a spelling mixup?

Sienar has been spelled two different ways

The traditional 'Sienar'
The (I believe) original 'Seinar'

Mira Lodo:
That would make sense, considering the number of times Rogue and Rouge seem to be swapped in these forums.
Heh. Reminds me of a card from the Star Trek CCG called "Rogue Borg Mercenaries," often subjected to the same mistake by users of the Message Boards for that game. Quite an image, ships being taken over by relentless cyborgs with really pink cheeks. 
Valin K.:
I believe "dreadnought" it how it's supposed to be spelled in the real world. So the Star Wars Dreadnaughts seem to have their origin in Zahn's invention of the term in The Thrawn Trilogy.
Zahn didn't invent them. Dreadnaughts date back at least as far as West End Games' Imperial Sourcebook.
And, as Tasty notes, "Dreadnaught" is an acceptable alternate spelling, albeit a much less common one. |

Both are accepted spellings in the English language, just like "grey" is an acceptable variant of "gray". It just happens that we use the "dreadnaught" spelling.

How about lightsaber - lightsabre?
Actually, it should always be lightsaber, even overseas, because that is the trademarked term.

It's somewhat ironic that it's spelt "discrepancies". ; )
:^O

Ah yes, you bring up one of my big pet peeves with the posters at this site.
Can't people tell the difference between a type of makeup and a squadron of X-wings?? is steamed
Then there's "dreadnaught" and "dreadnought."
I believe "dreadn_o_ught" it how it's supposed to be spelled in the real world. So the Star Wars Dreadn_a_ughts seem to have their origin in Zahn's invention of the term in The Thrawn Trilogy.

well, I suppose regional differences are not the same as spelling discrepancies. lightsabre is the correct spelling overseas.
