Representing an age before the printing press you will find words with incorrect spelling all over the world to keep with the realistic theme of things. While there has been a push by the people of lomar to standardize things, the scholars of the royal lomarian university are fighting an uphill battle that can take centuries to repair.

People should direct their Karador spelling issues to me and I will look into it, including different versions of the same word or phrase so it can be eventually standardized.

Key words from Harkker are "realistic theme" and "centuries to repair". I think by that he means we old-timers rather enjoy the multiple spellings and pronunciations so don't expect more than minor changes. Remember Lomar is kind of a melting pot of races and human refugees from other parts of Karador. It just feels more Karadorian that way, since we grew up with it like that.

Even if I did nothing but make spelling corrections in my free time it would still take a very long time to see them through. I wouldn't worry too much about global change anytime soon.

I have to admit that I feel irritated by the domistic pigs everytime I see them.

I think so, yes. May be one of the other bigger cities, too.

Domist is a small island off the coast of Fairfax. They are known for the wonderful bacon they produce. Because they charge so much some local farmers have imported "domistic pigs" in an effort to make more money.
