Spelling errors, typos, and grammatical catastrophes

[berelinde]

Version 1.1 is hovering on the edge of completion. If I don't get any more ideas for material that *must* be included, it will be out very soon.

 

Spelling and grammar matter, but I think it might make sense to pull them out of the "bugs" thread.

 

So, once v 1.1 is out, please use this thread for editorial comment. It's very appreciated!

May I first say that, if Gavin were a real person, he would be followed around by a large group of lovesick women, all trying to get him to marry them.

That said, I did notice something in LT 20. He mentions how he was planning on "leaving you unmoselsted." I wish he wouldn't, mind you, as I'm especially curious as to what "moselsting" involves, and would like no one more than Gavin to do it to CHARNAME.

Oh, sheesh. One of these days, I'll learn how to type.

 

Got it.

(Gavin 1.2 beta) PIDnight.d

 

... in "THEN BEGIN BOut"

 

+ ~RandomNum(5,1)~ + ~It is, but I'm too tired to bear you company.~ DO ~SetGlobal("B!PCWantsSex","GLOBAL",0) SetGlobal("B!Outside","GLOBAL",0)~ + BOut.1a

 

Should probably be your company.

 

Hmph. Better get out of that file, I'm getting embarrassed.

[Guest erik]

Another one, in BB!GAVIN.d: /* Gavin-Ajantis2 */

 

Global("B!GavinAjantis2","GLOBAL",0)~ THEN ~BB!GAVIN~ BGavinAjantis2
~Ajantis, you serve your Order absolutely, do you not~
DO ~SetGlobal("B!GavinAjantis2","GLOBAL",1)~

 

... a missing question mark, there?

 

And in /*Gavin-Branwen 2*/

 

Except when we'r'e fighting other people, but

 

Overenthusiastic apostrophe use there. How about we're ?

[berelinde]

(Gavin 1.2 beta) PIDnight.d

Should probably be your company.

 

Hmph. Better get out of that file, I'm getting embarrassed.

 

Actually, it's gramatically correct either way, but I can see the need to change it to "keep you company."

 

And I most certainly know exactly what you mean about that file.

 

 

Does the excessive apostophication make up for the lack of a question mark?

 

No, I didn't think so, either.

May be just me, but "too tired to bear you company" sounds right. "too tired to bear your company" sounds, uh, a little rude?

[berelinde]

It would be. I don't think "I'm too tired to keep you company" is too bad, though, and the idiom is modern enough not to make people think it's a mistake

[Guest erik]

Heh. Can't expect an old-worlder to be up to speed on obscure yankee idioms, can you?

[Guest erik]

Browsing B!GavinJ.d, I noticed a few:

 

THEN ~B!GAVINJ~ ReputationBreak
~When I joined you, I swore I would help you as long as you served the greater good. I had hoped you would ammend your ways,  but you have not. This must end. I can no longer be party to such actions.
~ [B!GAVI06]

 

amend your ways

 

 

Copy-paste error in ///* Beregost - Karlat */

+ ~HPPercentLT(Player3,80)~ + ~<PLAYER2> could use some healing.~ DO ~SetGlobal("B!HealPlayer3","GLOBAL",1)~ EXTERN ~B!GAVINJ~ BGavKarlat.2

 

<PLAYER3> here, perhaps?

 

 

///* Nashkel - Oublek, regarding Brage */

May Brage be shown more kindess in the next life than he was in this.~

 

kindness

[Guest erik]

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN BDrunkSexAfter1
SAY ~You're sweet, love, and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy myself, but I want have all m

 

"I want to have" ... copied to all the DrunkSexAfter variants, in fact.

 

Drunksexafter3: regretted instead of regreted...

[berelinde]

Thanks!

 

My confidence in my own spelling and/or typing is really going down the drain, just so you know.

 

Ah, well, given the choice, I'd still rather have a good proofreader than an overinflated ego. Good proofreaders are priceless, and anything overinflated is likely to blow up, anyway.

Today's teasing of your spelling:

 

BGavinFlirtMiddle7.6a1A4

"might be the stirrings of agression."

 

... aggression

 

"Taught muscles"

 

... do you mean taut, perhaps?

 

BGavinFlirtLate2

"Gavin siezes your hand."

 

seizes, I suppose

 

BGavinFlirtSexy3

" His breath catches, an he sighs, smiling."

 

and

 

BGavFF4

"I wondered if there was somthing"

 

something

 

"++ ~Do you reaaly believe this "

 

really

 

" It's just that you usually have somethinig cheerful"

 

something

 

BGavinBath3Aa.1a.3a

"... I am afriad... you are so beautiful"

 

afraid

 

... bloody hell, there's a lot of text in that mod. 22414 lines... ouch.

[berelinde]

Thanks much.

 

And you aren't kidding about a lot of text. The funny part is that I figure your average PC will only see about a third of it.

When you do the missing Beregost citizens quest, and you go to a certain house (I'm remaining vague on purpose) the person who greets you at one point says 'beleive' instead of believe.
