Week XX, XX Force field against portal
We have indications that a force field is building up around our portal on planet X at x:XX, y:XX. We esitmate that the force field will be strong enough to prevent us to use the portal in less in 12 weeks. We are not sure how long the forcefield will maintain the strength to stop us, but you better prepare to defend the planet without the benefits of a portal for at least 10 weeks.

Shouldn't it in fact be...

FA    Week XX, X        XXX made an attack against planet X in the XX,XX system owned by XXXXXX (XXXX), but *the defense(s) of(/on?) the planet was(/were)* too strong.
As "planet" is not a person nor a name.

Maar doodslaan deed hij niet, want tussen droom en daad,
Staan wetten in de weg en praktische bezwaren,
En ook weemoedigheid, die niemand kan verklaren,
En die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat.

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

Either.

Depends on if you see the planet as possessing the defenses, hence it's defense, or if the defenses are just hanging out like groupies.  smile

Possession entails ownership or attributes of a noun, e.g. "The dog has fleas.  We have to get rid of the dog's fleas." 

Similarly, "The dog has fleas.  We have to remove the fleas off of the dog."

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

Hall of Fame page (history.php)

Couple of typos on the right hand column when you click a galaxy
"Playery" should be "Player"
"round ended at ...(date)" should be "round ended on ...(date)"



Rankings page (rankings.php)
"Score is what determines the winner. It is added to on every tick."
Not so much a typo but factually incorrect tongue I don't think anyone judges the winner by Score. Perhaps change it with something like "Score is a measure of points awarded to families each tick depending on their networth as well as size rank for that tick."

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

Phew!

Thanks everybody, most of these changes should be live now.  Feel free to double check.

There were a few that I didn't make because to me what is currently there is also technically valid.  If you see any changes you requested that are still "broken", this may be why.   Or maybe I just missed your change.  Point it out and I'll check. =P

Some fun trivia:

The revision number in the code that brought these changes live is r85.
45 different files were affected.
Forever got the most tag points in one post with 63.

Great job, everybody!

Got a few bucks?  The Imperial Tip Jar is accepting contributions!
