For those of you that can't spot this mistake in half a millisecond it should be batteries. Probably has it coded to add an "s" for plural meaning; here is something I just googled for making plurals: You already know how to make most nouns into plurals just by adding an -s at the end of the word. There are plenty of words that do not follow the rule, however. Here is an easy case to remember: If a word ended in -s, -z, -x, -sh, or -ch, add -es to the end. Examples: dress - dresses; fizz - fizzes; fox - foxes; wish - wishes; watch - watches. When a noun ends in -o, you also have to add -es. Examples: hero - heroes; tomato - tomatoes Exceptions to the rule: studio, piano, kangaroo, zoo, buffalo, cargo, motto, . Just add -s to these words. If a noun ends in a consonant plus the letter "y", change the "y" to "i" and add -es. Examples: city - cities; country - countries When a noun ends in -f or -fe, you change the "f" to "v" and add -es. Examples: knife - knives; half - halves; scarf - scarves Here is one that always gave me trouble. I hope this makes it easier for you! Sometimes a singular noun ends in -um or -on. To make it a plural, change the -um to an -a. Examples: curriculum - curricula; phenomenon - phenomena How about nouns that end in -ex or -ix? To make them plural, change that ending to -ices. Examples: vertex - vertices; index - indices Nouns that end in -us become plurals by changing the ending to -i. Example: stimulus - stimuli Some nouns are always plural, but do not end in "s". Examples: cattle, police, people. Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_do_you_ad ... z1H9RJ4FXC Not everything ending in -us pluralises to -i or even-ii, it depends on the Latin declension of the noun in question. Also, fish does not take -es (unless you believe in Jeremiah the Bullfrog). Cash is another one, although that's not capable of being singular (unless you're talking about Johnny). |

Trinity drive is displaying as Defense_adaptation +8%, should be Defense Adaptation +8% Also, should all the silver module effects be one word? |

I was kinda sure because it's been that way since they came out, but I wasn't quite sure. |

Yeah, all those types of bonuses are presented as single-word bonuses, even if they really should have spaces. There must be a design reason why spaces aren't used, so I think Dan is experimenting with underscores to make it more readable at the very least. |

Also, "A omicron injector has been installed on your ship." Should be "An". Just a little grammar mix-up. |

Arn't all those other bonuses permanent(as in always active unless module removed?) compared to the conditional bonus of 8% defence if target of attack And Xecti wouldn't show up the same way because it's a race bonus rather than module(atleast it shoudn't show up in the same window) |

Being a programmer sucks when it comes to typos. Especially in C++. "WHERE IS THAT DAFT MISSING SEMI-COLON!!!" Has been heard by residents of my house many times, with the addition of a few "other" words. I'll be on typo patrol now... |

Found another one on Drannik Ballistae and Ion Pulse Ballistae - the singular of all of these should be Ballista. I know it's probably impossible to code for irregular plurals like this, just thought I'd point it out. I was also going to mention "Protean Armorys" (-ies) but that's already been brought up (though not fixed yet). |

Got one (at long last) When highlighting the base production bonus info for the loyalty bonus, this shows up. Loyalty Bonus Info wrote: 40% Production Bonus for each active Legion Member That has been in the legion continuously for a week or longer. 'That' shouldn't be capitalized as it is not the start of a new sentence nor is it a proper noun. |

On daily mission it says This mission can be repeated at any time. This mission can only be completed once per day. Not really a typo and not really important, but u can see how it's... uncomforable fix if possible, doesn't matter much if not~ |

Another non-standard plural: Ancient Crystal Foci - the singular of Foci is Focus. |

When you place a Mylari Strip-Core Mine, and try to place another, it says "planet already has maximum number of 'mylari' structures. Mylari should have a capital letter, I think. |

Replying to the Stelar and Stalar post. I found that when you have put Stelar it should have two L's so it should be Stellar it may just be a mis-type but i thought it may help. |

I notice that in the medals I think it could be a misspelled word or that's how it is. Worker's Comp Have 8 crew members on your ship die from chemical spills during the mission 'XTS-9 Refinement'. |
