It seems the author had a little difficulty with dialogue between the first people on Earth and picked words randomly to emphasize their newness in life. For instance, Eve knew what swimming meant because when Adam asked if she had tried swimming yet, she said, "No, I haven't. Not yet. You will have to teach me." There was no form of reference for the word swim, but she understood it. However, he picked payment as a word to show that they were learning new words and I guess forgot that she had already said the word as if she understood it.
Wow.. Interesting observation.

I noticed these inconsistencies. These were just the obvious few. Still thinking if a more tedious editing would have minimised it.
