First of all, English is not my native language nor I live in an English speaking country. Second, I didn't choose to read those books, the education system made me :). I don't read them that much today, but did enjoy it. Third, this is not bragging as I don't consider myself being super duper educated. I just read some books from time to time. I honestly thought it was the proper way to spell it, because I've seen it like that.

The style just looked to me as people around me describe events, often starting with the look of the scene, including the person.

Nevertheless, thanks for learning me how to spell a new word.
