still easily distracted

Still reading Dances with dragons. It still needs editing, but this time I'm sure that there was no copy editor, because there is an ongoing grammatical error that I assume was a replace all mistake. Martin uses "wroth" every few pages. Sometimes it's correct, as an adjective, but more often it's as a noun, which is to say, instead of "wrath." It jumps out at me every time, which after 700 pages (thus far) has seemed like hundreds of times. He has a lot of speaking forsoothly affectations (no use of thou or stylized verb endings, thank goodness), but this is a simple grammatical problem.
I watched an episode of the new NBC series "Saving Hope" (not to be confused with the Fox sit-com "Raising Hope"). There were some plot problems, but what kept distracting me were the scrubs. The male doctors were wearing generic scrubs, but all the women I noticed were wearing the fitted sort, in solid colors, looking brand new (example below the cut)


There certainly are such scrubs, but most women in real life wear some that are rather less tailored. Many nurses (not on this show) have decorated tops, including one nurse at Winchester Hospital who has aloha-fabric scrub shirts. This actress above had no trouble removing it quickly when her character engaged in the near-obligatory sex in an empty examining room. (where *are* those rooms in a real hospital?)
It makes sense that everybody's scrubs look unfaded - it was only the 2nd episode, and they probably were straight off the rack.
The scrubs on "Grey's Anatomy" look nice but more realistic. I don't know whether they actually wear Grey's Anatomy brand scrubs or not.
