Just saw an NPC in the King's Row station complaining that "Criminals these days are so unnessicarily rough!" (then there was something about "I would have given it to him if he said please") - should be "unnecessarily".
I probably only /bug half the typos and mis-spellings I see. Given the apparent literacy levels of the English nation these days, I am past despair most of the time...

30 month vet badge is called "commited", with the flavor text "After 30 months, you should be commited". According to my Webster's dictionary of the english language thats not the correct wording..

To say nothing of the fact that it's a peculiar turn of phrase to a British English speaker.

Are they calling us insane if we play that long?
("Should be committed" to me sounds like "should be committed to an asylum"!)

I know you guys haven't seen much from me lately. (Massive stuff going on as you can imagine!) Good stuff, too!
But I am slowly picking my way through more missions and doing stealth grammar and spelling touch-ups. I'm not sure anyone's noticed yet, I hope you have!
But I guess it remains to be seen. 
Although I DID find a doozy the other day (some Circle of Thorns guy yelled something to the effect of, "I sweat you will rue this day!!"). *groan*
So I'll keep plugging along as I have time.
Thank you for your awesome feedback on this, by the way. Much appreciated.

Maybe he was a kind-heated Thorn, and was anxious for your safety on the mission?

That depends if the 'said' thorn didn't have a hood/mask on covering their eyesight......that kind of accessory just gets int eh way..... :P
Normally, I don't touch Badges or Powers or anything like that, but it sounds like they desperately need some love.

Talking of badges, and this isn't really a typo, but what's the deal with the Warburg rocket badge being "Rocketman" only, and no "Rocketwoman" option?
A gender-neutral "Rocketeer" would be acceptable if, for some crazy reason, "Rocketwoman" wasn't posisble.

I'm back, and I'm still a pedant. Three good ones already!
The Warhulk leading the vault break-in key mob for the Brickstown Safeguard says "Stop or you be shot!", and one of the Dark Vampyri on the Shadow Seed arc uses "to" instead of "too"

I've given up seriously trying to clean this particular Augean stable, but whoever wrote Envoy of Shadows really needs to read up on "its" and "it's".
Well i might aswell add a few, even if i'm not the best of spellers around here.
Inspiration : Insight
"Makes your attacks 7,5" should be "7.5"
"7,5%%" should be "7.5%"
"25%%" should be "25%"
Inspiration : Luck
"12.5%%" should be "12.5%"
Inspiration : Enrage
"25%%" should be "25%"
Note : The extra percent symbol is incorrectly added once you have right clicked that inspiration and clicked detailed info. It is however only in the inspiration description and not when you only right click it.
It's now Issue 21 and I am back!

The 7,5 rather than 7.5 is badly implemented internationalisation - either may be valid depending on the country but the mix of both isn't.
There are several other places that extra %s appear as well.
I suspect the two may be related inasmuch as these entries are probably populated by text substitution from a language specific database and use the % sign to delimit the variable to replace.

Deadly Doc 50 Dark/Dark Corr
and lots more on Pinnacle,Union and Defiant
Quite. "%%" isn't a typo; it's a bug.
