A list of typo's

[boyfrary]

Never bought a guide before and bit the bullet after seeing this one looked quite slick as I'm wanting Loremaster on all my toons. I wasn't disappointed

When I encountered my first typo thought I'd help improve the guide by going on a typo hunt and found the following list in the NPCs_enUS.lua localisation file. The typo's may be in other localisation files if you haven't had a translation for that language and are using the English text. Being from England I've tried to avoid the whole US and UK differences like gray and grey and I'm sorry if any have crept in. What I have done is where both have been used I've flagged the least used as wrong. The format is I show the correct word followed by the exact line in the lua including its error. A preceding - symbol simply means something needs removing. If you want to give lil ole broke me access to the 'Dailies and Events' guides I can check them too if you wish nudge nudge, wink wink

Let me know if I can be of any help.


*edit: Fixed a typo on my post about typos

[cabby]

Thanks for the list. These types of things have been around forever simply because Zygor has always been focused on the guide-breaking bugs and trying to give the customers more variety in guides that they keep asking for. Hopefully with this listing he'll be able to do a fast search/replace to squash these.

Thanks for reporting these typos. We will make sure to get these fixed for the next update.

"grey" or "gray" is mostly down to whether you spell it "colour" or "color"

I.e. either is an acceptable spelling, though "gray" is mostly used by Americans.

Just did a quick informal pole (2 of us that are sitting in the office) - we both spell it 'grey' and we're Americans... lol

PS. boyfrary - a VERY impressive list! Some of them were comical but thank you for the time you took to document them.

[boyfrary]

No problem at all guys, happy to help. Don't forget my offer to do the others if you want.

I appreciated this and so flagged the least used spelling as the wrong one which I explained in my orginal post. There are far more uses of the spelling grey in the guide than there is of gray. Was trying to suggest consistency which I know can be a loosing battle sometimes.

Yeah definitely giggled at a few of them, my favourite has to be Follow the bath through the quillboars

[cabby]

You actually weren't here for one of the best typos the team have had in the guides in a long time.

My fault. That part of the post escaped my brain by the time I got to that far down on the extensive list I suppose.
