I know its a little stupid thing but it has been bugging the heck out of me.
Why does the demon dialogue always say "compact" when it means to say "contract"?
That cannot be just a "typo" that got missed, as someone suggested.

As stated, it is a more formal and slightly older/archaic wording. Quite appropriate.

Reminds me of one of George Carlin's pieces.

"Flammable, inflammable & nonflammable... Why are there three? Don't you think that two ought to serve the purpose? I mean either the thing flams or it doesn't!"
