Starting this thread for the discussion of different spellings in Trigun! There are more than a few in just the first couple of episodes. Ep 1 has stuff like "iles" instead of "miles". Ep 2 has quite the selection in just the bodyguard ad - "bodygard", "stanpeat", "3 mears".

I have seen some posts online say this is intentional as a representation of language drift in Trigun's world, while others say it is all typos. Some posts imply it could be both. Do you guys have any thoughts on the matter, or any notable examples in the show where it stuck out to you?

I agree with the first argument that it is the representation of the language drift in Trigun' world. It is set in the distant future and that's also on another planet from our earth. As language always evolves, it is possible over time for words to change spelling, pronunciations and even meanings.

Are you watching the anime on an official platform?
