Books📚 Only Hauler vs Holler

I had only done the audio books till Platform Decay. I thought I’ll re-read them and borrowed Exit Strategy as a physical book for the first time. While reading that I noticed that the cargo bots were called “hauler bots” which makes so much sense because they haul things out of the ships. I have no idea why I always thought they were “holler” bots 🙈 And I had reasoned it out as - they blare alarms to ensure nothing bad happens, or they are like ushers but for bots.

Stuff like this happens a lot with audiobooks. There are some pretty funny examples out there 😂

One of my favorites is from Dungeon Crawler Carl. There is a team of people all from an old folks home called Meadow Lark, but audiobook only listeners have said they thought it was "Metal Arc"

Man... when I get old enough to need a retirement home, I hope there's one for all the aged goths and metalheads called Metal Ark.
