[NIT] "subspecies" misused

p. 391: Animal Subspecies

This isn't the scientific definition of subspecies. "Niche" might have been a better term. Too late now, but yet another misconception to correct in science class. :-(

Something to note for the second printing, I suppose...
 
Another "nit" to pick...

technically, players should determine their characters' mass , not their weight ....their weight will depend on what gavity they are in
 
Not true - in English the common usage of weight is equivalent to the Physics definition of mass.

From it's usage, it is clear what the intention of the word is (You understood what was intended)

English - Words mean thatever the author intended them to mean rather than a stodgy dictionary definition.
 
Hmmm....well in the end, everything said and done....who cares?
