Bug Reports - Spelling mistakes and typos - Forum

" Somebi wrote: Died and entered teleport. In town experience lost, but i'm alive. Second bug with memory. Out of memory information while loading locations. Turning aura ON and unequip aura skill from item, doesn't turn it OFF. Heard about aura animation disappear in water or something like that. Not only is this not the way to report bugs, this is a spelling errors thread. :) Invited to Beta 2012-03-18 / Supporter since 2012-04-08	Posted by VideoGeemer#0418 on Apr 24, 2012, 4:30:42 PM Quote this Post
The name for level 41 daggers is "poinard" (the name of a defunct French auto-maker), which should be "poniard" (a pointy French knife), or "poignard" (if you want to be super-French). In my experience, "poniard" is the preferred English spelling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poignard	Posted by Hypatian#4589 on Apr 24, 2012, 6:39:07 PM Quote this Post
For in-game text and dialogue, we have settled on using NZ/British spellings. Ergo, "civilisation", "despatch", "sceptre", "colour", "to-MAH-to", etc. I think the Alira's usage of "mana" is fine. Google search for "poniard": 367,000 hits Google search for "poignard": 5,600,000 hits --> Poignard it is. Even if it is "super-French".

I just winced every time I saw a "poinard" on the ground. (Although I'll note that if you search for pages in English, it's much closer at 375k vs 379k for me.)

Now I do, too. O_O Apparently my machine at work gets different google results than my machine at home. Yay, consistency! Anyway, poignard is good. Apparently that was used in Diablo as well.	Posted by Hypatian#4589 on Apr 26, 2012, 1:13:56 AM Quote this Post
Tarklabargle's new speech about the necromancer appears to be using the wrong apostrophes.	Posted by caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaps#1680 on May 9, 2012, 5:31:40 AM Quote this Post
The text description of the quest 'The Way Forward' reads, 'Tarkleigh wants you to find the path o the Emperor's Road' (instead of 'on the Emperor's Road', presumably).	Posted by Ythir#2465 on May 10, 2012, 2:24:25 PM Quote this Post

Was just about to post this. I actually think the 'o' is supposed to read 'to'. "We were going to monitor the situation but it was in the wrong aspect ratio."
