Yeah, it is pretty poor...remember the box for "Civ3: PTW", now that was abysmal: "Civilazations", "Mutliplayer"...terrible...for me to take them seriously and not think they are a bunch of cowboys, everything needs to be written properly, correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalisation...it gives an air of professionalism.

My Civilization 3 Conquests box has the word "civilazations" on it in big happy letters.

Pah! The spelling with an 's' is a British newfangledism, that the Yanks, in a rare flash of enlightment, have refused to adopt.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

And seriously, who the f lets minor and rare grammatic and spelling mistakes dictate their purchasing habits?

It's quite possible you're just not looking for them. A lot of us here probably enjoy spotting such errors because it gives us a vain sense of intellectual superiority. And we have nothing better to do with our time.

The convenience store in my old neighborhood paid for, and installed, a sign declaring themselves the "Coner Store".
I never once found drugs there though.

Maybe they meant it. Maybe they have a new product called coners and they are the only source so far.
OT: Bad grammar drives me bananas but correcting it is even worse. I work at one of the largest computer consulting firms in the world. When we are not out in the field we sit at a desk and do CBT. One is on English and grammer in the workplace. One lesson it teaches is that a list should never have a comma before 'and'. i.e. bacon, eggs and tomatoes; never: bacon, eggs, and tomatoes.
It's not like they couldn't have called an English proffesor. But even English proffesors are getting fed up and giving in now-a-days.

EDIT; For spelling (see LordShiva's post). And it's only spelled like 20 times on this very page. Sheesh, I can be dense.Last edited by padillah; February 22, 2007, 14:11.Comment
