"Non-professionals" in relation to the narrators? Or just in relation to the male narrator? Because the female narrator is Jen Taylor, voice of Cortana from the Halo games. She's far from non-professional. Miles and Kerry even said that she nailed the entire opening narration in one go.

About the magazines... Maybe they're various magazines about fighting. I mean, Ruby is reading a weapons magazine that has an ad for Schnee brand dust on the back of it.

Like HSXI said, Ruby tackled the guy out the window. "Freeze!" "*Kick-tackles out the window, then stands up for badass pose* >:3"

Again, like HSXI said, Ozpin was probably referring to scythes in general. After all, Ruby isn't the only one who wields a scythe. "I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow..." - Ozpin.
