Typos/Grammar Errors

[zangeen]

Because I'm such a grammar freak and can't help but notice typos and grammar errors, I've decided to post any/all I find to help make the server look more professional. Everyone is welcome to post any/all typos/grammar errors they find.

The format I will be using is:
Text now
Text as it should be

Colour-coding:
Red = typos
Green = added text
Yellow = shifted text

Sanaldo: "Well met friend. what can I do ya for this day?"
Sanaldo: "Well met, friend. What can I do ya for this day?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kriero: "How can Kriero help you today master?"
Kriero: "How can Kriero help you today, master?"

You: "Just go and fetch your flour, that's it?"
You: "Just go and fetch your flour? That's it?"

Kriero: "[nods] Aye. No fame or riches, just some hard labor and I'll give you a fresh portion from it when you return. The mill isn't too far from town afterall and the way is usually safe."
Kriero: "[nods] Aye. No fame or riches. Just some hard labor, and I'll give you a fresh portion from it when you return. The mill isn't too far from town, after all, and the way is usually safe."

Kriero: "[smiles] North out of town and then folow the eastern trail. It's not far. See Colliah up at the mill and here ...[hands you a reciept] he'll need this."
Kreiro: "[smiles] North out of town, and then follow the eastern trail. It's not far. See Colliah up at the mill, and here...[hands you a receipt]...he'll need this."

Kriero: "[smirks some] aye, blamed me for his woes likely too."
Kriero: "[smirks slightly] Aye. Likely blamed me for his woes, too."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colliah: "[spys the reciept and rolls his eyes] ((blah blah))"
Colliah: "[spies the receipt and rolls his eyes] ((blah blah))"

Colliah: "[grumbles as he interupts you] Bah! It's half his fault you know...and partly yours too."
Colliah: "[grumbles as he interrupts you] Bah! It's half his fault, you know...and partly yours, too!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all I have for now. More to come! (But let's hope not! )

Hello, pot? Meet Kettle.

trust me - I'm a Virgo and as anal retentive as they come. Sure, some of the aforementioned text could use a bit of tweaking. But as long as it's not a glaring grammatical or spelling error, I say leave well enough alone. Otherwise you'll be in this thread more than you are in game. heh heh.

Eh. It's been one of those days.

If the DMs would rather I not post these, I'm perfectly fine with that. Just let me know. Until told otherwise, I shall continue my campaign against the improper usage of the English language!

P.S. Please note updated original post.

You forgot a comma.

You forgot to color a word.
Kriero: "[smirks some] aye, blamed me for his woes likely too."

Spelling errors I'll fix when pointed out. Don't worry. Percieved puncuation or grammar errors are often done with a purpose. Commas and ellipses denote pauses in speach and help set the tone of typed text. I often purposely misuse them to denote a lack of proper schooling and a "backwoodsy" feel with NPCs. So while I'll review any comments and suggested changes ... "I taints likely gunna change dat many o' dem.

*sigh* Like I said, it's been one of those days. I need sleep. In fact, I'm going to get some right now.

I'll just continue to post anything I find and leave it to your discretion of whether or not it should be changed.
