Typo Fixes

[Once]

We could do that, or we could make the things that typofixers shouldn't have access to require a higher level than just the trust associated with it. Editing the MOTD or IMOTD would obviously be pretty much an imp only task. Most of the others are straightforward though. Send me a PM or an email on what you'd like to restrict.

Acridia       - May  9 - 10002 : object 'the skin of a crocodile', when I 'smell skin', I get 'It doesn't smell
 too interesting' - it needs a period '.' at the end 'It doesn't smell too interesting.' Been carrying this around for a bit - think it was from Jurassic Park zone.

[Once]

That's not really breaking the deed system. At best it's gaming personal deeds based on deeds not requiring at least clan_rank 1 to put. The real benefit of deeds is in the clan bonuses anyway.

[Kvetch]

I have actually been keeping up on these, but since there were so few, I didn't post them when I did them.  Here are the last few days fixes and notes on ones I couldn't do.

Mardo         - May 11 -  3001 : Calypso is pushed to the down by Bane. - SEEMS LIKE GOOD ENGIRSH

With Acridia gone there haven't been as many typos reported.  I've still been doing them when I see them, but probably won't have to post every day anymore.

- It’s a) the difference between what’s being sent to the player (you) and what’s being sent to the room (others), so it only seemed like it worked fine when you were by yourself.  The %echoaround%’s were using %actor% instead of %actor.name% which is why the numbers and not the name.    So, builder’s remember that difference.

*Sent this “typo” to Molly.  Not sure if it is a typo or if there was once something that someone called mry wood.  I couldn’t think of what it should be changed to.

[Molly]

I'd let it ride.

It is actually a quote from some old Egyptian inscription, and the typo - if it is a typo - is also in the source.

My guess is that it might mean "ebony wood",  since that's the only thing I can think of that makes any sense in the context.
Although it's a weird typo.


Perhaps there was some tree called mry in those days, who knows?

Mardo         - Jul 24 -  3001 : a turquoise ankle bracelet with dolphins.  There is a '.' at the end of it for

Must be running out of typos to fix.  Not as many as normal.

[Kvetch]

I took a month off and it seems Rynald decided he had to prove me wrong on the "not many typos left" statement. He had a bit of help, but was mostly him.  Didn't have time to do many today, but will continue to work on them until they (and the ones you're currently doing) are done.  Here's what I got.

Rynald        - Aug  3 - 38460 : the spaces is filled -> space or spaces are

Rynald        - Aug  4 - 38413 : say nomad to nomad chief -> misses a period at the end

Rynald        - Aug  4 -  3863 : a bottle of scented oil doesn't cast anything according to its id

* You're right.  It doesn't.  Possibly meant to be that way, though it does mention healing properties.  Would have to talk to Molly about that.

Rynald        - Aug  5 -  3735 : look north looks weird
