If there were a ‘feedback’ feature in-game, I’d be using it all the time for grammar and spelling.
I know the devs are designers not English majors, but I just wish a little more care went into crafting instructions and dialogue prior to releasing it.
If a word is intentionally spelled incorrectly (like some of the Asura krewe and lab names), that’s ‘flavor’, not ‘mistake’.
For those people who have good spelling and grammar, running across a badly formed bit of dialogue or instruction is disruptive. Folks go along: ..:::Immersed..immersed..immersed..::: /needle scratch across the record….::brought back from the story:::
For those that are younger or maybe don’t have the best grammar or spelling, it sets a bad example – or worse: Lets the person think that’s how it’s supposed to be because it’s in a professionally created and commercially released product.
This is a minor complaint, I know. I’m not a grammar nazi, I’m not going to run around in game correcting people’s spelling – I’m usually pretty good at it, but I’m not perfect, either.
On the other hand, my conversation in game isn’t a product released by a company that ought to have checked before letting it go public.
(Best example was the post for ‘clearing up’ WvW queuing. That was so bad, it was funny. I would have posted that pointing to it as said example, but someone went in and cleaned it up. )
Thank you
