Yes, typos are a very, very minor error in the scheme of things. How ever, the fact that there are hundreds floating around a professionaly designed, built, and run MMORPG speaks volumes.

hundreds? i've noticed a few here and there... but even if there are hundreds... then think about how much text there is here... you try writing a novel or 2 without making a few grammatical errors or typos... it isn't english teachers that are writing this game you know... so let it be as it is... who cares if there are a few typos if they just start fixing the bugs...

Coming from the person who used about 5 too many elipses and about 20 too little punctuation marks.

When you change Combat XP to Force XP it says you "loose" XP... loose is when your shoelace isn't tight enough.... LOSE is when you don't have something anymore..

Nice catch.

I agree completely. This is one of those many little bugs that would only take five minutes to correct. It reflects badly on the developers when they don't have the utmost desire of quality and take every step to correct the simple mistakes. It is the small details like this that spell the difference between a polished high class game and a shoddy money making venture. I know LucasArts(TM) and the Japanese parent Sony(TM) would never stand for a lazy work ethic, and apperently both have been giving a lot of attention to the situation lately. I know this case of a misspelling is just a silly detail, but is paralleled over and over throughout SWG.

It's a simple error. nothing more or less. If I notice it at all, it doesn't degrade my enjoyment of the game. I have gotten so used to typing in-game with abbreviations, ect (like typing u instead of you or brb for be right back) that it is a challenge to type correctly when I am at work. I guess I should be glad not to work with some of you folks...you would be calling for my job for the smallest of errors.

Should it be fixed? Yes!

Can I BENFIT ( from knowing this mistake?? NOT!

These little errors, in and of themselves, mean nothing. They're just annoying to anyone who can read and spell past athird grade level.

It's wondering what ELSE hasn't been checked that's getting to me.

3rd grade college students?

i don't think a lot of foreigners even notice this... maybe you do if you're a perfectionist... but if you aren't... then you won't mind at all... as long as they start working on the annoying bugs and the combat revamp... when this game is free of serious bugs... THEN i want them to checks every single word all over for errors... not befor...

Because when you spend tens of millions of dollars to develop software, you could goddamn well hire a f*ahem*king editor, and failing that, use the grammar checker built into Microsloth<---MicrosoftWord.

I've seen games written by two students in a garage with better quality.

Hell, "If you're careful with you weapon you won't get hassled" has been in there since release. Don't get me started on "Alright" (it's two words, not one) as written by whoever slapped together the Corvette missions.

The really frustrating thing is that the printed manual was professionally edited. What the hell happened to that step in the QA process in the actual freakin' game?

Please if you are going to point out every single little mistake there is in the game, at least make sure to spell everything you type correctly.
