Typos

[Grey]

The intention was not to be correct, but to give an archaic flavour, hence made up words like "inwith". Thus "wilst" was intended as a weird way of saying "will". "Wilt" would work as well, I suppose.

Linaniil also reminds me of T'Pau, from the old Star Trek episode where Spock goes into Pon Farr. T'Pau was an old Vulcan woman who spoke in broken archaic English, just like Linaniil. T'Pau always used "thee" as a substitute for "you", regardless of whether she was using it as a subject pronoun or an object pronoun, singular or plural... always made me wonder whether the writers were just that dumb, or whether they wanted her to be perceived as having language translation issues.

Nova description: "circual wave" (circular)

Firebeam range: 70...

Since my character died before I can test it, I'm not sure if it's just a typo or genuine bug...

http://wooledge.org/~greg/te4.spelling.20110202 - patch made against SVN rev 2621

I took the liberty of changing Linaniil's dialog to more archaic English.

Thanks!

In the test beta 20, the Shaloren info text says 'renegate' instead of 'renegade'

[Grey]

Heh, DarkGod keeps making that error...

Heh, DarkGod keeps making that error...

So you would say he's "renegating" his previous spelling fixes?

[darkgod]

pfft

Here are a few I noticed in b19, they might have been reported already since I checked the main page and saw that B20 was JUST released!

object: corrupted alter (mark of the spellblaze area, and maybe that crypt quest) ->should be altar (alter means change, so it could be an altered altar)
dredge captain - should say "its" (possessive), not "it's" (contraction) - very common error even in books and such
Eldritch eye - should say bloodshot, not bloadshot
retribution talent (sun paladin) : says you're instead of your
Yeek wayist - same description as subject z (I actually killed it because of this! ARRRRGH!)

There's one more that's so funny I think it's an improvement to the item in question and don't want it changed. I'm not telling.

Dialog that pops up when entering the temporal rift lumberjack village says distorbed instead of, I assume, disturbed.
