[0.77] Typos
Elemental Forums
The XML is likely still very volatile and subject to changes, but I thought I would start the mammoth task of ridding it of typos. I'm not even going to touch sentence structure and the rampant use of commas, but there are some fairly obvious mistakes that need to be fixed.
In general, the use of plurals and plural possessives need some work. Here are some examples:
spiders den/lair - spider's den (singular) or spiders' den (plural)
You interrupted the creatures last meal. - creature's or creatures'
bandit's - fine if there is only one bandit, bandits' if more than one
Merchants Guild - If the merchants own the guild, it should be Merchant's Guild, otherwise it could be OK.
the statues weapon - one statue = statue's weapon
See use of plural possessive nouns: link
Apart from that, here are some specific errors in the CoreGoodieHuts.xml. More to follow.
