Well, when I say half tempted, I'm obviously not going to actually defend them, release the slithy toves.
1) The title we are discussing was published by BAEN, not some solo gig.
That alone should have triggered a second

2) The book genere SF or Fantasy Notorious for made up places or things.

Theducks has been leaving Amazon reviews (they asked ) lambasting the choice of words (mostly homophones) that do not fit the context.
Every last one has been SPELLED CORRECTLY.
They are still WRONG
