I'm aware of that, and neither am I. So I can relate to the difficulty of catching them all. But I'm very surpriced none of the beta testers commented on it. In particular the guy who was doing the voice for it. But seeing as he just read it as it wrote, including the missing "the" I suppose he wasn't paying that much attention. Or whatever-...
I haven't had a chance to DL the final version yet. Based on the early drafts of the text that I do have, are we referring to:
"your hands are blood red like sky hanging over you."
Versus
"your hands are blood red like the sky hanging over you."
If so, then my bad. :( The first is grammatically acceptable if you wanted to imply that your hands are like a sky hanging over you, err somehow, but I think we all know that wasn't the intention. The sentence structure is not unusual. To talk about, say, "nothing but clear blue sky above you" without a "the" in the sentence anywhere is quite common so I guess I just missed it.
Funny thing is, I read the text, offered corrections to Daniel - some he liked, some he didn't, he sent back corrected texts, I spoke them (usually a few times), I listened to them (again usually a few times), picked the best version, sent them to Daniel, he incorporated them into the WAD, I got an early beta and played it a few times and still I didn't spot what is now a pretty obvious mistake. So not only did I not pay enough attention, I repeatedly did not pay enough attention. :/
