Forum - Space Odyssey MMORPG - a massive free online space game

I noticed this a while ago, but i dont think anyone has posted this.... so here we go...
httpSystem seems to be spelled wrong in all the systems... http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=415353

There are tons of the errors, and since they are not important to the game, we tend to ignore them. A spelling error won't stop gameplay, so no worries.

I know luffy, but isnt this what this particular section of the forum is for? i wasn't worried about it, i'm just posting it so Emi has an easier time just to look here, see if he missed anything we noticed.

that's not really a big or problem though, lol. Just a typo, and yes it goes here, but Sir Emi's time is too valueable to be wasted on correcting spelling errors.

This topic is open for spelling words list

Please post a list of spelling errors you find in the game, and I will note and fix them with new updates...

I knwo it's open for that Sir Emi, but there's so many of them! It would take forever to correct them all! Oh well, you're call there.

using hologram training, it says yiu have done such and such, if this has not been fixed yet.  there are a couple others to, but I forget :(

Like I said, they're everywhere. It would take SO long to fix them all. That's why I ignore them, as long as it's readable it's fine.

It just looks more professional without them, so I doubt its a big deal for Emi to look here when hes got time... Hes the maker of a great game, and by doing this we can only make it better :)

Emi, you could assign people to help you correct these mistakes by giving them power to modify only the spelling..

When approval to an alliance is pending...
        request is awaiting aproval

When you apply to an alliance, "application" is misspelled.
When you are accepted into an alliance, "congratulations" is misspelled.
When you are disbanding an alliance, "dissolve" is misspelled.

Deposit, not depozit (in the logs)

In the DDAY description, "stopped" and "set" are misspelled.

Under the announcements for credit exchange,
        as long as it's done from whitin the game

Add-free is hyphenated, unless you are giving free ads.

After accepting a true request, "appear" is misspelled.

Under sending donation bonus, friends should be friend's (and in the announcements about it).

Insert a comma into "Be advised that the bigger the mothership gets the harder," between "gets" and "the."

In the nav computer, "coordinates" is misspelled.
When you add something to the nav computer, "through" is misspelled.

When you attack a person with no fleets, "opposition" is misspelled.

When you raid a person's base too much, "past," "automatically," and "approach" are misspelled.  Also, there should be an "of" after "location."

In much of the galaxy views, "system" is misspelled on the window header as "sysyem".

In the commander window, "expertise" is misspelled.
     When you change your avatar, "manually" is misspelled in the displayed message.

On the facilities screen, "warehouse" is misspelled once as "wharehouse."
     In the following sentence, "a attack" should be "an attack."
     The biofarms description doesn't have a period at the end of it.

If you try to take an action with reavers in the area, "out" is misspelled.

In the galaxy buildings list, "debris" is misspelled in "Advanced Debris Collector."
     Under Sentient Engineering Matrix, "fleets" should have an apostrophe after it.
     Under Nanites Assembly Facility, "resupply" is misspelled.
     "Appetite" is misspelled in "Psychic Appetite Inductor."

In the default fleets, "inteplanetary" is misspelled, as are "barracuda" and "python."
     In default special systems, "space distortion field" is misspelled.
     In default weapons, "electron pulse ray" is misspelled.
     "Stelar converter" means something different from what I believe is intended.  "Stellar" was likely the spelling you were going for.  It amused me when I looked up stelar, though.

Under personal truces, "truce-breaking fee" should include a hyphen.

In bounties, "decreated" is not a word.  Was "decreed" the intended word?
     "Calculations are for 10 million credits for 1 million fleet power."  The first for is not necessary.
     "Minimum" is misspelled in "minimum reward."
     Not entirely sure, but I think "on-screen" should be hyphenated, written as "onto the screen."

I'm not entirely sure if "can not" is correct (I don't think it is, as it implies ability not to do something, rather than inability to do it), but I would change "can not" to "cannot" in the message that appears when a non-leader attempts to request a truce.
...Other people will have to check the things leaders can do, from truces to accepting, and so on.

In the place where you can upgrade to gold, "absorption" is misspelled in "search fleets by attack...absorbsion..."
     "Necessary" is misspelled under the boxes indicating fleets and systems available.
     "In-game" should be hyphenated, I believe.
     "Its creator" should not have an apostrophe.
Other people with gold accounts should proof the gold-only things...if I get gold, it will be at the beginning of next round.


In missions, "losses" has two consecutive s's.

In the reavers encounter, "without" and "through" are misspelled, and the first two lines are missing a period.  Actually, the first line wouldn't be a complete sentence, perhaps it is more of a subtitle.  But the second one is definitely a sentence, with the exception of a missing period.
In the mothership encounter, "scavengers" and "launching" are misspelled.
In the bio encounter, "involving" is misspelled.
In the supernova encounter, "scavengers" is misspelled.
In the black hole encounter, "nowhere" is misspelled.
In the commander encounter, "according" and "through" are misspelled, and a "from" should be present after "ejected."
In the endangered planet encounter, "converter" is misspelled.  Also, "people" is misspelled in the popup explanation.
When a commander fleet is present, "together" is misspelled in the popup explanation.
"Careful" is misspelled in one of the popup explanations, I believe it is the mothership.

When clicking on the picture of the mothership encounter (as you would to view an alliance description), "illuminating" and "within" are misspelled.  Also, I would change "transcend" to "transcension."

I'll edit the rest of the ones I find into this post.

...I used to be incredibly good at spelling, and have gotten pretty good at grammar.  Hopefully I won't miss much.

jeez, what did you do, go look for them?

Yea, got bored waiting for missions to appear, hehe.

Time to go proof the guide.

lol, have fun.

Oh, and also spelling does matter, especially considering that SO does have an international following (not huge, but still present).

I said it doesn;t matter that much. It's not deadly important.

I suppose...

Bah, getting a bit tired to do more proofing.  The guide can wait.

lol, with someone like you here, there won't be to many more spelling errors.

lol i understood evertything you sayed :P so it must be true  :wow:

I can read it, but it does slow me down a bit. I have seen that paragraph a few times though. So that helps.

That's among people who already know English fairly well, though.  Among people not entirely familiar with English, it can completely destroy any semblance of meaning in the sentence (Is recnet a word?  Is ervey a word?  They are legal in the English language, as far as word construction goes).

And yes, I can read it all just fine.  But I'm much more willing to read something written well than poorly (even on AIM, to some extent), and many others are the same.  And it does slow me down, just a tad.

According to a recent study conducted at an English university it doesn't matter in what order the letters in a word are situated, the only importent thing is that the first and last letter must be in the right place. The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is becuase we do not read every letter by itself, but rather the word as a whole.

now, if you started playing a game, which would you rather see, this, or that? (same paragraph, just errors corrected)  also, either this was anew survey done, or you skipped some parts as well.  when I read it, it said that: (basically)

people over a certain IQ can read words even if the letters are in the wrong order, all that matters is that the first and last letters are correct, and that all letters are in there somewhere. 

so popele can raed tihs and not be cnofeusd wtvesoaher.  ctnartcoonis can siltl be raed elsaiy eevn wrods lkie cna't and dno't and wtah's cokonig doc?  I tinhk I mdae my ponit.

bravo to anyone who can read that.  according to the study, this should be just as easy to read, as the other paragraph.  by the way, anyone who can't read that, but could the other one, the reason is the longer the word, the harder to piece it together.  'translated' it's:

so people can read this and not be confused whatsoever. contractions can still be read easily even words like can't and don't and what's cooking doc?  I think I made my point.

I read your sentence with ease, and none of them slowed me down. And ars, I've SEEN the results page of this sudy (I participated in it a while back, quite fun really). Guess what the IQ requirement is? 101, 1 point above the high part of the average mark. So, basically, about 75% of people should be able to read thode, provided they are semi-fluent in english....and not a japanese immigrant of any age (it's been scientifically proven that all japanese people are slightly below average in verbal, while they are slightly above average in mathematics and science. Go fgiure.)

Found another  :))

lol, jeez charmuska.....you have too much free time on your hands.

No, that one I found from raiding someone's base when they had no ships (with an alt).

lol, I see...well, I don't, but you get the picture.

I'm still finding new ones  :))

jeez, you really need a life, lol. Jk

well correct english spelling or not - I like the english version of the game much more than the german one (I don t know who or how that was translated). - The german version of e.g. guide  :atention: is that hard to read that it is in large parts not understandable.  :21: - So I prefere the english version even with this minor typos ...  hi

lol, well, the guide in German was probably thrown through an online translator, lol. and with minor errors in spelling and what not in it, it probably came out like this in english:

dog the went bathroom to.

Online translators are not the best things in the world.

Agreed, online translators don't distinguish between meanings of words very well, and often don't get syntax and order correct.

On another note, new additions!  Hooray!  :12:

lol, yea, which is why spelling is so hard to catch.

The "Galaxy Travel" button has the wrong font. It's kind'a anoying to look at.

true, looks like its out of spot or something its out of place...

Agree whith you chronos it does look out of place, it looks like it dosn't belong there  :(

I just noticed in the secret stash that the interest rate info had changed,

Interest increments by 0.01% for every 100 million, up to 10% for 100 billion, more then that will decrease for each 100 million by 0.01%, to a minimum of 2% per day. Values are for Glod members, for others interest and growth are half those values.

Thought i'd just point out the spelling mistake. Although reading it like it is made me giggle cant say i have a glod account.
