i was talking about real players that always has to correct other peoples spelling mistakes. not the game NPC's spelling mistakes. sorry if i was unclear about that.
But many fo these NPC's are supposed to be from an alien world,and might not be good in basic language,so it's not alwasy easy to judge if it's bad spelling from the dev's side or if it's supposed to be that way.
And im alwasy /bug bugges i encounter but spelling i realy dont pay that much attention to,not like it's game breaking in anyway. hehe

With the release of JTL, we now have NPCs in space attempting to speak basic as poorly as they do on the ground.
Way back in the day, I remember TH posting about how he was on some sort of personal quest to eradicate the typos, etc.
Looks like a lot of them never got flushed out.
One of the most common ones from the ground game is the misuse of 'you' when it ought to be 'your'. Ends up making all the NPCs sound like retarded monkeys.
"Be careful with you weapons and you won't get hurt." or some such.
Which new and exciting typos have you found in JTL?

They are supposed to be like that to add to the atmosphere, like some species could be uneducated so the grammer/words are wrong.

It just points to a lack of concern. No attention is paid to detail. No wonder the game is so damn buggy, no one is looking over the code.
