Here's another one, Q:
When you bank tip someone from far away they receive an email saying the species, not the player name, that tipped them.
Or you will occasionally get "You successfully receive xx credits from %TT"
Food text, these may be getting fixed maybe not. Noticed one today.
Corelian Wine, should be Corellian Wine
It is taken by a splinter faction of corsec. It is not normal. Please change the description to reflect this.

I'm starting to go through the bug database to fix up misc. text bugs. Other than Loading Screen bugs (separate thread for that), what text bugs annoy you most? I'm talking about grammatical, spelling, boxes in place of punctuation, etc. Please give as much detail as you can to help me locate these guys in the text tool.
(Please note, I have no programming skills to speak of, so this "low level" task is not taking away from any designer fixing the top issues).
Thanks for the second set of eyes.
uuuuu, change the the terminlogy from "Nabooian" to the correct "Nubian". ![]()
It's been bugging me for ages. It's all over the place.
That's the only one I can think of right now.
i finished the night sister thing and during the last npc she did a really bad one... not sure but hey if i were admin id scroll around and figure that out... but ummmm i would also fix my insurance bug and my 80% resist to all armor that is almost crap because of this
8) give it up for tyler
swoop bikes should not be called 'speederbike swoop' they should be called 'swoop bike'

I'm sorry if this has been already said: when you try to loot a corpse immediately before it's going to disappear a message says "You can't loot %...", or something like that.
1. Any female animal in the wild that you do ANY emote on that returns the pronoun says "You (insert emote here) him"
2. I see a Naboo Holy Man. But it's a female. LOL
3. I can't recall the actual text, but when using leg shot or another shot on snakes or other creatures without legs... I'm not sure if this is exact text, but still it's very silly.
"You shoot a snake in the leg for 333 damage!"
This one reminds me of Everquest, when you used the "root" line of spells on them.
"A snake's legs adhere to the ground."
Or when they use kick! LOL
"A snake kicks you for 11 damage!"
4.Wookiee mispellings missing thesecond E at the end. It's spelled Wookie in a few places, but I can't recall them all now.
5. Wookiee NPC's speak in basic. Thier vocal cords make this feat impossible.
6. of course, the bank transfer text bugs that everyone else is mentioning
That's all I have right now.

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