Staredit Network -> Website Feedback, Bugs & Discussion -> Minor v4 Spelling/Grammar Errors
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2006-03-21 at 20:45:47
I'm looking to fix minor spelling and grammar errors (or just plain poor wording) in v4. Since we have to live with it for awhile, it might as well look a little better. Let me know what you find and please provide links.

I don't care about minor errors like "color" vs "colour" or "addon" vs "add-on" and other such technicalities... now if it was something like "coler" or "ad-on", then that's a problem. wink.gif I'm more concerned with gross mispellings and the various "Yoshi-isms" that have been left over.

Note: expect your posts to be deleted as corrections are made. wink.gif

Not bloody likely. I don't know what half of them mean... and I don't want to go to every ampersand and equals sign just to satisfy WC3. If it doesn't screw up display, I'm not going to mess with it... unless I suddenly get a LOT of free time. tongue.gif

Central America and South America have underscores on the members map.

ADDITION:
Not technically grammar or spelling, but it's text errors.

If you fail to follow these rules, you'll simply get banned from using the shoutbox for a couple days and/or a warn level, depending on the severity.


Shoutbox Help!
If you changed your main default to "popup" while having javascript disabled, you won't be able to open the shoutbox anymore. Try changing your settings here. Otherwise, this will reset all your defaults.


^ Fix the shoutbox guide. It's KINDA outdated.

On magic boxes, when you can't perform the actions, it says "well it's actuall 23 hours, 59 minutes"...

No, it isn't. It is precisely every 24 hours.

If you purchase a box a 3:00 ET on June 25; it says "next valid play: 2:59 ET June 26". However, you can't buy another box until 3:00 the next day.

Yes, I'm being picky happy.gif

Okay, this is somewhat a spelling/grammar error:

When you try to shout too soon after your last shout, it gives that error and it says to please what "<#EXTRA#>" or something seconds. I just always wanted to know what <#EXTRA#> seconds was. tongue.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's just forgetfulness. The polling booth was added before "Null" had it's name changed. Though yeah, it should be corrected.

There are some inconsistent capitalizations with the "E" in StarEdit that clash with Staredit, such as the bottom of every page and the title of the 50/50 Raffle and Magic Boxes pages.
