Instructions language use.
OK, maybe I'm just a weirdo...but was anyone else thrown off by the fact that LNoE refers to the singular of "dice" as "dice" rather than "die". You will find cards or instructions telling you to roll "an extra fight dice" or something similar. I always try to change it to "die" when reading aloud for other players, (since I prefer not to sound like an idiot,) but somehow that causes me to get all confused and I end up using "dice" when I mean "die" and "die" when I mean "dice" about half of the time.

I don't think it would really bother me if it was just a mistake on one card. But EVERY single time the instructions or any of the cards refer to a die, they call it a "dice." Did they not have an editor look over the text, or were they afraid that, since it's a zombie themed game, players would somehow think they were referring to a character "dying."?
