How about the bug that says your inventory is full (when it is), when your removing stuff off vendors, but instead of leaving it on the vendor all the items disappear. I guess that's not a puncutation error, or spelling. But still, this bug has been around, and has been reported for at least 3 months now. Everytime I open a customer ticket on it, I get the response "Sorry, nothing we can do". It's getting fustrating, considering last night my wife lost 2.5M worth of BE clothing to it.

Umm, can we get a Star Wars Galaxy SOE Logo screen?
Look at the small print. It says "Planetside is a trademark..."

I know some will say this doesn't belong here but whatever..
Please remove the constant :Channel Information Complete" chat spam, it is utterly pointless.

Often when I getoff of a shuttle, I get a message that says, "The container you were inspecting (X) is not currently available."
Where X = my character's name.

After attempting to repair a weapon or piece of armor and it "falls apart" the decay shows 1/1 and the item is useless, shouldn't all the stats fall to zero rather than showing what the stats were when it was in primo condition? I've caught myself twice almost buying something on the bazaare until I noticed it's condition.
Buyer beware!

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but this thread is quite long and I don't have time to read it.
Anyway, on almost every mission that Luke Skywalker gives on the Rebel Theme Park, he has some sort of spelling or grammatical error. I can't remember the specifics, but it's on like 3 of his missions and/or rewards where he makes them.

How you done Cries of Alderaan Act 3 yet?
This is todays Voting topic... Hmmmmm
This alone is your problem that people at SOE are NOT checking there work at all. The errors of spelling continue to go on because quality control is something that IS NOT PART of SOE's check list. How can you post something with bad spelling and a few days later ask for text errors. My god whoever posted this after SOE saying where are our errors should be fired. You can fix these problems but they are still going to happen because a double check never seems to be done at all on any work for SWG. Thats why we have so many problems in this game that go unfixed. Quality control is something SOE needs a Dept for because its needed!

Most annoying text bug ever:
semicolon used to indicate 'new line' in written text.
What's that all about? can't I construct sentences using the semicolon?
It's nothing to do with macros or scripting - when I type text to be displayed in the spatial (or other chat) window I don't want to see this:
Hello! I
M going to get some stuff. Don
T worry, it isn
T far
Using a non-US keyboard, the semicolon is placed next to the ' key, and the single most common typographical error this causes is all instances of ' being replaced with ;
It's so common, I have it set up as auto-correct in Word.
Semicolon is NOT a newline indicator in language - only in SOME programming languages - a semicolon has a proper place in langauge.
And how the hell are we supposed to use a winking smiley face if when you type 'Laugh!
' you instead get:
Laugh!
)

When you enter or leave the Mining Outpost on Dantooine it says now entering or leaving Pirate Outpost.

My absolute favorite, as its a symptom of the ongoing problems, is the current poll.
How you done the Cries of Alderaan yet?
