Spelling / Grammar / Typo Corrections for Twilight of the Arnor

My report begins as follows; note, all corrections are in accordance with standard American English, and in some cases may not be correspond to British English rules.

1. Menus and pre-game text;

Galaxy setup: Mirror Universe desc.

Error: "...the Drengin Empire stand..."

Correction: "...the Drengin Empire stands..."

Reason: Empire is a collective noun. (I'll occasionally post a reason for corrections, but only in the first instance of each mistake.)

Race selection: Korath Clan desc.

Error: "...rather than enslaving them..."

Correction: "...rather than enslaving it..."

(Also, there seems to be a discepancy between the sandbox's spelling for the name of the Korath's leader and the campaign game's from Dark Avatar; Krindar, rather than Kindar.)

Drengin Empire desc.

Error: "The Drengin are cruel, evil race..."

Correction: "The Drengin are a cruel, evil race..."

Abilities: Creativity

Error: "Put the right side of you brain to good use!"

Correction: "Put the right side of your brain to good use!"

Espionage

Correction: No period, line 2.

Speed

Error: Options read, "Extra 1/2 Parsecs/Month" (A holdover from GalCiv 1.)

Correction: "Extra 1/2 Parsecs/Week"

To be continued. Next, Campaign and Tutorials.

In the Improvement Editor that comes bundled with the game, it says "Breif Description" instead of "Brief Description".

Building description: Traditional Factory

Error: "The basic factory increases this colony's the social + military production on this planet by ..."

Correction: "The basic factory increases the social and military production on this planet by ..."

(This is actually an old bug that I already mentioned when DA came out, the bug itself is probably much older.)

Thanks for the help, guys. I hope we can compile a good list in time for one of the newly-announced patches on the way from Stardock.

Addendum to Galaxy setup: Power Duel desc.

"Drengin" should be capitalized in, "This is the ultimate test of the human vs. Drengin wars because..."

(I wasn't sure at first, but this is the way the word is used in every similar context.)

Campaign: Twilight of the Arnor (Arnordämmerung? :P)

I. Of the Arnor:

Error: "...that has occurred over the past 2 years while her and her crew were gone."

Correction: "...that has occurred over the past two years while she and her crew were gone."

(The "two" is to keep with the paragraph that follows, in which the word rather than the numeral is used.)

Correction, paragraph 3: "The Drengin Empire was able to quickly overwhelm the Terran Alliance and its allies..." (from "were" and "their")

(I haven't played through the campaign as yet; any help from keen eyes would be appreciated in this regard. Also, I know the Dark Avatar campaign contains some mistakes, as well. The Dread Lords campaign seemed fairly solid, though, from a transcribed copy of the mission descriptions I read online; verification would be welcome, however.)

Tutorials: (All descriptions refer to the column left of the video player.)

Your first turn:

Correction: "An introduction to what you can expect your..." (from "yoru")

Viewing the Galaxy:

Correction: "...as well as different ways to view your empire. (from "view to")

Negotiations:

Correction: "...and negotiate with /other/ alien leaders..." (Best to remove "other," since one wouldn't consider his own species alien!)

Custom Races:

Correction: "If none of the pre-designed races appeal to you, this tutorial..." (from "tutorials")

To be continued. Next, Tech Trees, beginning with the Terran Alliance.

Isn't possible to correct the spelling/grammar errors simply editing the relative files? Should't be difficult to find them.

That was my first thought; at first, being an XML file, I couldn't figure out how to edit the text, but checking again on it, I did manage to open the text in Wordpad.

That said, there's still a mountain of code around each line, and sifting through the entries isn't very easy. But, I may be able to bypass this process of reporting and get straight to the editing; in that case, I would simply compile a .zip file and post a link to it here. I'll keep you informed as to what I think the simplest course will be. Thanks for prompting me to look again.

You could also try one of the many excellent freeware text editors, many of which come with an automatic color scheme for XML. Notepad++ is my personal choice, you can get it from here: WWW Link. But there are many equally good alternatives - PSPad, Scintilla etc.

Here's a screenshot of an XML file in Notepad++: WWW Link

When you build your first terror star...

"the largest warfaring warship" or something is what it says on the movie. Warfaring? What the hell is "warfaring"? Space-faring, I think, is what they wanted to say.

Yes, not only does this alliterate in a clumsy manner, but "warfaring" is not even an actual word in the English language. "Warfare" is, "warfaring" is not. I think the easiest change would be to just drop the "warfaring" and call it "the largest warship". Adding a second adjective to that phrase would be overkill (no, I'm not counting the article as an adjective).
