Exclamation Luxon, Stolen Word(Proof)

Guys look at this!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxon

Notice the word TRAVEL in the text. It appears often, and I mean the Luxons travel alot...

Sounds like stolen?Or just a coincidence(Spelled right?)

Guild and War are both words, too. Are those stolen?

Come on, people. No need to flame, huh?

I believe you can't "steal" a word, pappayaponta. Here's an example: The word WARRIOR. A warrior is usually very brave and enduring in battle. The skill description for warriors in GW says something like "bla bla stout at heart, last long in battle" etc. This still doesn't mean they stole the word warrior.

If i had the time i could probably find nearly95% of GW's words/phrases are "stolen".
I think what he means is it has a definition that matches what the luxons do

The word travel apeared twice in the text. That sure qualifies as a lot. I think 3 times would mean it dominated the text.

Luxon = one that travels
Warrior = one that goes to war
Elementalist = one who uses the elements
Monk = one who makes wine
Assasin = one who dies first, second, third in battle

Just deleted a string of flames and such. I think the point and purpose of this thread's gone by this point.
