    Journal, "Call of Booty" -- Text -- Misspelling in Entry -- "shipfull"

    When the player accepts the "Call of Booty" sidequest and observes the journal, the following text appears on the third line:

    "
    a shipfull of treasure from the sultan of Ul'dah, the infamous pirate
    "

    This is incorrect because "shipfull" is a misspelling of the word "shipful".

    Please fix this issue by replacing "shipfull" with "shipful".

    The corrected text would appear as follows:

    "
    a shipful of treasure from the sultan of Ul'dah, the infamous pirate
    "

    NOTE: Please be aware that this journal entry appears twice, and the misspelling should be addressed in both areas. Thank you.

    Or, you could use "Ship Full" with a space rather than using the term shipful which suggests it is like a ship.

    No, that wouldn't work. That would imply that a "ship full of treasure" was stolen. In other words, that a ship itself was stolen and that it was filled with treasure. Instead, a sizeable amount of treasure was stolen, the size of a ship. It has to be "shipful".

    Could it be hyphenated? Ship-full.

    Just sayin', because both Shipful and Shipfull come up as bad in my spell-checker.

    dictionary.com lists "shipful" as a word. That's what I go with. <shrug>

    It could potentially be "ship-full", but I hate seeing that, and it seems unnecessary here.

    It was intended to be "a great deal of treasure," so "shipful" would be correct here (though, according to legend, Mistbeard and crew also stole a few ships that were in port during the wedding celebration).

    Thanks for the catch!
