Episode 3:13: “Pure Sterling silver.”


This, a line from a vampire woman stalker who killed a werewolf. It is also complete bullshit. Sterling silver is NOT pure. It is an an amalgam, typically 92.5 percent silver and the rest, copper. That might be fatal; but the overriding fact is that there is NO SUCH THING as”pure” Sterling silver, unless you mean “pure adulterated silver.” I’ve a background in consumer audio, where silver in cables and wires sound harsh because they are made of Sterling silver, but cables and wires made of pure silver sound amazing.

I also despise writers who do not know whereof they speak, nor smugly do not care.
