Notice the racgers in toboggan racgers
 

What now, horrible bans, bad calls, mean, now typos? LOL :rotfl: Get new staff!
 
A friend and I were talking about this same issue the other night. VMK has published one too many spelling mistakes. I don't agree with the whole, "everyone makes mistakes" thing, simply because this is a multiplayer game that is viewed by thousands of people. I would think...I would hope vmk would take the time to at least go over what they are about to "publish". Like any public work...i.e. newspapers, tv, and other means of written announcements, the authors proof read and edit to make sure things are as they should be.


That is a funny typo though... :rotfl: lol
 
As a professional writer for 25 years, I can tell you that the new bread of "publishers" don't know how to proofread. They rely on spell checkers and grammar checkers, and the whole "Hey I'm human" mentality. You would not believe the number of times in a week that I write Disney to inform them of typos and horrid mistakes on their website. Now, I know that I am hard on the folks here on the DIS about writing, and heaven knows I've had a rant or two here, but the people who publish on the web are alleged professionals who should know better. Unfortunately, the attitude of "it's only the web, not a book" is far too prevalent.

That, I am afraid, is what it is coming to: It doesn't matter as long as I can get my point across.

P.S., I even find typos in the novels I read, and then have to go back and re-read a lot because I realize that I've been proofing not reading. Those are two distinct activities!

Humans who don't proofread their work, apparently.

Right? What's a grammar error compared to in anoter occupation.. like nuclear testing? :rolleyes:

You're getting paid, get it right woot!
 
I should have been a proof reader -- spelling, grammar errors & "typos" are my pet peeve. I found this one yesterday afternoon as well.. http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=13500600&postcount=48

I am amazed at all the places I have found errors...books, ads, television...if only people would take the time to proof read. IMO, these errors really do make the end product look unprofessional...even if it was a typo. If they would have proof read it, they might have found it.

how do you get red pink and green space suits??????? i need to know
This is Off Topic. Please post this on another thread. :)
P.S. This was before the bug was fixed. You can't do this now. :)
 
I noticed that typo yesterday and just shook my head- sure everyone makes mistakes but professionals should try to present their best face... I worked at one hospital that would send out memo's all the time from the CEO- funny thing was his secretary had horrible spelling and grammar (makes you wonder why she had the job) and he never proof-read the memo's first- so they would go out with lots of errors- after a while I started proofing them and sending them back

I also wish they could fix the typo- but I doubt they will because it would reset the quest and allow those of us with a room to get another room...

To answer your question- even though it is a little off topic for this thread:
You get the blue space suit pin and go through to inner space trades and then take the pin off and go back the way you came- your suit will change colors- I think you can do this only going into the shrinking room and back out but I haven't tried in a while...
 
i wish i was a racge car driver who would win all the racges and win the prize for most racges won ever lol it's ok VMK we'll forgive you.. this time, muahaha :stir:

It's a good thing we're not picky here on the DIS. I had to giggle when
I saw your typo. :rotfl2: Maybe you'll get to tease me "anoter" time. :rolleyes1
