Zerg pets: SEN user name+s instead of 's or s'. And in the PMs it goes (for my pet example : Hello Kabbom-a-ling, your pet kaboom-a-ling has been challenged by ...)

And unless it has been fixed they spelt challenge wrong when you want to challenge a pet.

ADDITION:
Also when you create a battle it says "blah blah blah comfermation" when the m should be an "n".

More than just spelling/grammar: The Sub-forums activity and mineral icons are missing. All they have are three colons and a percentage.

I already know about the last one...
I'm just too lazy to copy the code right now smile.gif I'll do that when I figure out a new equation for the activity numbers. Before I changed it a bit, it gave a 50% bonus just for having one post for that day. That's a big outrageous. I think it got another 25% if it had one post for the day before... after everything, forums were easily getting 175% and such.

Could of = Could have (When you pronounce it, you're saying could've, the contraction)
nows = now's = now is

ROFLMAO. I don't think he ment this thread specifically, Moose. tongue.gif

Anyway, you should completely revise the FAQ in the garbage forum. It needs updating and spellchecking and grammar checking. Also, maybe you should make a new forum specifically for it at the top of the page (above the news forum). That way everyone knows where it is and where to go to to find out how to get ore, how to spend it. And all those other annoying questions answered in the FAQ which is hidden at the top of the garbage forum.

Actually the proper way is with the comma, unless you want absolutely no pause between "topics and things", which doesn't sound as good with the whole sentence itself, and would make "topics and things" ONE item when it is suppose to be two.

This is when the actual system beging. An action was taken (Beacon system, Drop censored.gif ...) to make the trigger. Two small location(Target Location) and big location(% Accuracy Range) will go on top of a target in the Range location.
The wait will be the time it takes to aim and then fire.


This is in Beer_Keg[eM]'s "Accuracy Bullet System" tutorial.

Here are the corrections:

Are something like a french teacher or something? Thats alot of little mistakes that normal people don't see! smile.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by LegacyWeapon on 2005-01-20 at 20:26:08
I'm taking actually French and we are learning about all these Subject-Verb agreement and things. Also, in the SAT preparation book, it's talking about grammar and things. Also, I like to type in a professional manner so that when I need to write a quick essay for homework, I can do it easily without many mistakes.

But if you look carefully, you can see mistakes in people's writing everywhere!

"UFOs" and "UFO's" are both correct.

UFO and UFO's are correctly spelt according to www.webster.com . The grammer is fine.
