I just checked, "him counterattacks" too.

Forgive me if there were already stated:

1. When throwing a grenade and it misses I get the text "Tuyen Highwest(me) avoids the attack" type of message.

2. When I /applaud or /cheer someone everyone else sees my emote as I am cheering for myself.

1. I took a mission out of Anchorhead. It spelled "Landspeeder" as "Lanspeeder"


2. I don't know if this still exists but I remember a grammar error on the flag outside of Bestine. It's there to commemorate something or another and it's description is flawed.

Doh! "Its description is flawed"

Not sure if this counts.... but the overlay map text ismost annoying if multiple venders are located very close to one another. All the text runs together and makes it completely unreadable. Is this a bug? maybe... Should it be fixed? I think so. How? that's up to the Dev's Seems like it might be hard to correct...

Thanks

the most annoying one i can think of is when you tpye just a "\" in the chat box and hit enter you and everyone in the area gets a message saying "empty string in prose formatter" i have no idea what this means but its really annoying when people spam this

I can't be sure if this is still in the game, as I can't log in right now, but...

In some cases, "aluminium" is spelt "aluminum"

I know that's the way some of you guys far west SAY it, but it isn't correct. "Aluminium" is the correctspelling of the element.

That's my real pet peeve of a text bug, the others I can live with.

Had to reply to this. The first 2 ppl to discover an alum basein 1700something and 1808 called it alumine and alumium respectively. The first person to actually isolate it in pure form was a guy named Wohler in 1827 and he named it...*drumroll* aluminum! 2 years later it was changed to "ium" to conform to other elements at the time that ended in "ium". In 1925, the American Chemical Society changed it back to the original aluminum, while other countries did not accept that spelling. The "ium" isn't really a standard among elements now (platinum, lanthanum, maybe more). And you can't say America changed it, because it was first changed from aluminum. We just went back to what is was originally called. A fitful honor for its discoverer.

Just thought of one....it's not exactly text error, but has to do with it. When viewing another players profile, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to read "their" bio. If possible could you move the badges to the bottom and put the bio on the top. There is nothing worse then trying to read a bio and have to scroll through 45 badges to get to it.

Actually, I think the currently most annoying text bug is the Forum bug where whenever a dev types in Test Center, you get "laceName%gt;TestlaceName> laceName>CenterlaceName>" instead of just Test Center. You should perhaps kick the Lithium guys in the buttocks and tell them that <P should NOT be treated as a smileyface.
