I can only attribute any Mika and Kia screw-ups as writers (a) not paying attention to what they're doing, (b) not doing some research on the characters, and/or (c) being thrown off by what might be feminine sounding names.

Shouldn't editors catch that though?

It really depends on how much info the editors have. If they were only going off of the Jackpoint user list there's not much to go on for the characters gender, it says in some but not in others.

Not Kia like car.  Kia like Killed In Action.

"Should," yeah.  *shrugs*  They're only human, same as the writers.

I hope that "Scotty doesn't know" that the writers did that...

Well, editors should catch a lot of things. Doesn't mean they always do. Some of the shadowtalk in particular has some glaring grammar errors. Not even talking about things like proper use of "its" and "it's", or finicky stuff like that.

Thank you, I couldn't help myself on that one.

...then again it's shadowtalk, so the error could be made the character ;)

Something tells me that any guy making that mistake would soon becoming a woman...  ;)

Anyhow, sex changes are cheap anyways.  Not to mention "Newhalfs" or "Shemales" as an option.

Indeed. Some mistakes are intentional.

And some are mistakes by the author.  *Whistles Innocently*

Or might not be.  ;D
