Merriam Websterand American Heritag "carabineer" as the primary spelling for one who uses carbines. This spelling is not used anywhere.


"Carbineer" is used in most spellings in the profession and skill headings. However, this spelling seems to be a variant spelling (although most consisten when compared to pistoleer).


"Carbinier" appears in "Master Carbinier". This is similar to the french word "carabinier", but is not actually a word!


To back up other things:


armorphous -> amorphous


grenadeer -> grenadier (and it should be on topof the field tactics line of commando)


surface marshall -> surface marshal

2 that come to mind


In the loading screens for corellia there is one that talks about the cat's and it says (at the end) 'not all cats like being pet' should be 'not all cats like being a pet' or 'not all cats like being pets'


And there is an error in pistoleer hoverover for the attack pointblanksingle2

it say's '/pointblanksingle2 is more powerful than pointblanksingle2'

As a musician, doing a setperform on someone reports "you turn your attention to %TT" or something, instead of the name. Not a biggie but annoying

I got this message when I killed a mission NPC outside Mos Entha.


"You cannot open that container [ALL OF COMBATTS GARBAGE I HAD TO HUMP ALL THE WAY HERE BECAUSE HE WAS TOO D A M N LAZY TO HOOK US UP B4 HE QUIT] right now.


More funny than annoying though, but it is text and a bug.

Gundark crooks don't have the space...they read as Gundarkcrook.

Hmm two things come to mind...



Flame thrower attacks result in some sort of "bob uses your flamethrower to burn..etc"



And,a few other attacks say stuff like "but him blocks it"

I haven't read all the answers so forgive me if this has been mentioned before:



When harvesting from a creature and being out of range or in Combat, it says something like "You cannot harvest ressources from %TT in your current state."



It is always using the %TT intead of the creature's name and the wording as such is confusing, too.

Probably arleady mentioned...


A (insert creature here) attacks (insert pet name here) for (insert damage here) and *him* counterattacks!


I have seen this so many times I am starting to use it in RL.

Luke can't spell!!! When he is talking to you he mentions something about "Kreedles" I think he says. This should be "kreetles". Now, he grew up on Tat and should know how to spell the name of those pesky insects.

"Do you really want to destroy Tatooine?"

"You hit a mature snorbal female for 923 points of damage but he counterattacks"

Not sure if it's a text file bug or that the animal is flagged with the wrong gender, minor problem and an easy fix either way I would imagine.
