Throw in the jarring modern words that ruin immersion and well you can see.

While I do not agree with many of the things you posted, I want to address this one....

There were only 2 words that actually had this effect on me - arabesque and surgeon. I must admit that both of those words DID hamper my immersion. However, I cannot blame that on Sanderson himself. Overall, I think he did a tremendous job with the 3 books. I place the blame for those 2 words on the editor and the 2 research assistants he had at his disposal. Those words should have been changed by either Harriet or even the editors/proofreaders employed by Tor
