    Dev tracker Grammar/Spell check respones.

    Do we really need to know that SE cant spell or use proper grammar? If your gonna keep responding to the same nerd about numerous spelling/ grammar errors just hire they guy and fire the ones that are not doing it right. BTW i suck at spelling and grammar and i dont care and im sure 98% of other players really dont care or cant tell if there are spelling or grammar errors in there text!

    Stop filling up the dev tracker bar w/ nonsense.

    Really? Are we jumping to an assumption here, or have you polled every single person?

    I think it's great that the grammar is being worked on so actively and I think it's nice that some players take their time to tell SE about the mistakes they find.

    However the responses tend to spam the devtracker feed so that more important info is easy to lose. I would prefer the responses to be in their own bar in the text editing section or wherever these discussions happen in.

    Or, y'know, you could exclude that area from your search.

    "Do we really need to know that SE cant spell or use proper grammar? "

    Yes!. SE is a multi million dollar, pound, yen company with the spelling and grammar of a primary school kid.

    "BTW i suck at spelling and grammar and i dont care and im sure 98% of other players really dont care or cant tell if there are spelling or grammar errors in there text!"

    No i don't really care if you can't spell that good, but then you aren't running SE.

    Most of the responses are actually pretty humorous. And it would be cool if they added Mermentia to the game as a NPC, kind of like the red shirt kid from WoW that called the dev team out on a mistake and was added to the game as Wildhammer Fact Checker.

    I must be in that 2%
    Know what's funny? Western companies that translate their games into Korean, Chinese and Japanese also have grammar mistakes.

    Funny how translations can work huh? It's expected there would be some spelling and grammar issues, especially with using flavor text -- It happens, you report it they fix we move on with our lives.

    Probably because the translators are all American and we all know Americans have been butchering the english language for centuries.

    "It happens, you report it they fix we move on with our lives."

    I agree.

    This is madness...

    *edit*
    I do hope we get a dev response telling the OP that it's their not there when talking about a person not a place.

    It's pretty funny when the localization team posts. Their posts aren't taking away from anything considering 1. we haven't had a major Dev post since 1.18 was released, 2. the localization team posts during a different time from the team in America, so if you're reading the forums during the day the localization team is less likely push down something you haven't seen, 3. if it's bugging you that much use this link and click Dev tracker for each section you want to read.

    I'm sure in the future we'll get an option to hide what we don't want to see, when they finally release the official version of these forums.
