Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

Don't know if this falls under spelling/grammer nazi bug thread, but it has been annoying me every time I see it:

Example from recent reports:

Week 2, 24    Destination reached
One of our fleets has reached its destination for attack on planet 7 in the xx:yy system.

Why is the there a semicolon between the x and y coordinates of the system? Everywhere else it's always a comma.

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

Defense should definitely be Defence.
Honor should definitely be Honour

With commas, colons and semicolons -- consistency is the only rule.

Re: Grammar and Spelling Hunters, Unite!

@The Fuzz

Usually it should be defenders' groundfire -- unless there were fewer than 2 defenders, or if we wish to view 'the defenders' as a single entity.

From the forum:
Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.
Should be:

Week 43, 11    Attack on cash reserves
I just got reports sites around the empire where we have cash reserves, several of them has been attacked by agents from LWK Space, 8 cash was destroyed. They even managed to find, and destroy, cash stashed on the market.

It says 8 cash was destroyed, while it is actually 8%.

Week 47, 5    Force field against portal
We have indications that a force field is building up around our portal on planet  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.


esitmate should be estimate

Wouldn't it be "only 3 special operations are available for us"?

As the player you attacked "were" under 35% of your NW they expected to lose and managed to take measures to make the planet "unhabitable" before they took off.

"was" and "uninhabitable"
