The worst part is that lately I`ve seen a fair few games with words spelt wrong. If you`re charging money for a product maybe learn to fucking spell the words that are in? Just saw some patch notes for a game with no less than 2 mistakes in, ironically a patch claiming to fix some in game grammar mistakes too. Oh, and it`s a game from a British developer too, so they can`t even use the non-native speaker and too cheap to employ a good translator excuse. How about some examples of common mistakes? Maybe some people will even learn how not to look like an idiot any more from this... People using then instead of than. They`re different words. They mean different things, they are even pronounced differently. If you`re using the words more, less or rather you should almost certainly be using than with them. Example usage: I would rather play Xbox than PlayStation. I bought an ice cream and then ate it. People using where instead of were. Again, they are different words with different meanings. Where typically refers to a place while were is a past tense. Example usage: Where is the library? Were you awake? To/too. These are pronounced the same, but they are still different words with different meanings. To typically means towards something, while too is used for saying additional things or that there is a lot of something. Example usage: I went to the library. I bought too many games. There/their/they`re. These too are pronounced the same, but again they mean different things. There typically refers to a place or point. Their is used to indicate possession. They`re is a shortened form of they are. Example usage: There is a polar bear. That is their Wii U. They`re unable to spell correctly. Seriously people, stop spelling words wrong. Especially if you`re trying to present yourself as a professional company. No more games with incorrect spelling or grammar please!
TLDR: Stop relying on your spell checker and learn to spell things properly yourself. Just because your spell checker says the word is spelt correctly doesn`t mean that it`s the correct word! |
