Ask about the contact Kara the Scorpion and you'll find she was a "top-notch assasin."

Better than the "compliment" I got a couple months ago, where I apparently had a "awesome assasian strike." How'd he know I was asian? And how'd he know I was an a--... *quiets*

Did you also notice the discrete/discreet error? I don't imagine he cares too much how discrete the elimination is, as long as it's done more or less on the down-low, as it were.

Cant' help but chuckle about the spelling champ using the wrong homonym.

Only one I notices since I did it so much: The entering message for the Destroy the Sharper Cult one. It says, One way or anther , the Sharper Cult meets their end tonight.

It got on my nerves thank god I don't do it anymore.

If you are a grammar/spelling nazi like myself, you cringe every time you see one of the many typographical errors in CoV! Since /bugging them in game doesn't seem to work, maybe if we make a big thread of them, someone will see them and have them fixed! Let's try to keep this thread lean and mean! List the mission and contact if possible, then quote the erroneous text, then type it again as it should be written! OK, go!

Seer Marino's Ghost Widow mission. At the end of the compelling cutscene, Ghost Widow ends her chilling and eloquent soliloquy by saying, "Your doom is at hand* ... and it's name is [player character's name]!" This totally defuses the drama (and makes GW look kind of dumb) for those who like to see good written English.

*Paraphrased.

Please change
it's name is
to
its name is

(Remember: his, hers, its - not hi's, her's, it's!)

Thanks.

Doc Buzzsaw repeatedly uses the wrong form of "its", using "it's" as the possessive form. Remember kids, his/hers/its, not hi's/her's/it's!

She also misspells apologies "appologies". Sad to see such a high intelligence character written so carelessly.
