    General A vs. An

    Many items in this game when created use the wrong "a" or "an" indefinite articles. Ex. "??? creates aN Tracker's Hat." and so on. Too many for which to make threads. Proofreading is definitely needed.

    This bothers me more than I'm willing to openly admit most days. +1 for having the brass to be the thread-starter.

    Nice find! I assure you, as localizers, this annoys us as well. All instances of trapper's hat have been fixed, and the changes will go live in patch 1.18. Please let us know of any other errant indefinite articles you come across. If at all possible, keeping posts of this nature in this thread would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

    There are too many for me to name, sadly. :/ I can't synth each synth for each class to find out which ones are incorrect. Is it not possible to scan them? English is hard.

    Good morning (or evening, wherever you may be),

    Unfortunately, there is no simple way to scan the items, as you suggest. What I can do, is take a quick pass over the items file and see if I cannot find any of the discrepancies myself. I'll also ask our Quality Assurance (QA) team to check the items on-screen once their 1.18 content debugging is complete. Though, even with these checks, considering the number of items we have in the game, I'm afraid there still may be a few bugs that slip through. You and your brave companions are our last line of defense, ApplePie! Let us know if you come across anything and we'll do our best to get it fixed for the following patch.

    Thank you!

    I hope you all stop finding text bugs soon, because these two are really crowding my turf...

    Using custom built software to view item files or something? Otherwise I do not understand why there is no proper search/find functionality. I would expect that to be a top implementation for any cataloguing software.
