He never says you can't use it.
Here's a quote from the blog which you just linked to...
Is it OK if fans use “Kossith” for the race name?
Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes. It’s not as if you need my permission, or anyone else’s. We’ll never use it in-game, but you can call the Qunari whatever you like, if you think that will actually communicate your meaning better to your audience. If you’re talking to a group of people who’d know what “Kossith” means, then why not?
Because you seem to get mad about it.
I get annoyed with the argument—from both sides. Someone says “Kossith” and you have someone else jumping down their throat for incorrect usage even though they knew damn well to what that person was referring. Likewise, someone says “Qunari” and you have someone else deliberately ignoring context so they can propagate the argument further—that argument where they insist where a different word for the race is absolutely needed and constitutes some kind of oversight or omission on the part of the lore. Because language doesn’t work that way, evidently.Let people use “Kossith”. If you know enough to argue its usage, then you know what they meant, so stop being so anal.Let people use “Qunari”, and don’t try to school them on how non-specific that is unless you happen to be Qunari yourself and the incorrect usage of all these terms is really [/i]confusing for you. If so, then you get a pass.
Basically: stop fighting about it, kids, because this whole debate is really unflattering, obsessive, grognardy, and a bit embarrassing.
