I'm not sure if I'm the first to report it, but I figured I should let you guys know! I don't think TF is a "card sharp" (though I could be wrong), but he's definitely a "card shark". I LOVE THIS EVENT SO FAR! Here's a picture of the error.

I can totally see why you would call him a card shark, but a card sharp is a valid term too - it means one who cheats or swindles with cards! The terms have a very similar history, and some say that 'sharp' is more likely associated negatively, than the slightly more positively viewed 'shark'.

Warning: Etymology Online links follow (as dangerous as a TVtropes link in my opinion!)

Sharp; http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=sharp&allowed_in_frame=0 vs. Shark; http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=shark&allowed_in_frame=0

(I wasn't involved in writing these, but I do love words :))

Jaredan is from England.

Chances are, he chose his preferred "card sharp" to the Americanized "card shark."
