I really think CCP needs to undergo spelling lessons as twice now, CCP Devs have spelled certain words incorrectly.

Patch notes for EVE Online: Inferno 1.2.6

Realeased on Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Fixes

User interface

Fixed an issue where using a keyboard shortcut while mousing over another module would briefly display the wrong tooltip


Patch notes for EVE Online: Inferno 1.2.7

Realeased on Tuesdaz, August 28, 2012
Fixes

User Interface

Fixed an issue where the tutorial icon could not be permanently removed from the Neocom.



I would like to know what 'Realeased' means, and what day of the week 'Tuesdaz' is?

Sorry CCP, had to have a dig Big smile

yeah, spelling is a very serious issue when it comes to dev notes.
I assume u want to wait for patches / releases an additional amount of time to get the typo satisfaction.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

They use American(US) spelling so it doesn't matter what letters they use to form a word, it is all spelled wrong anyway.Lol

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

I can see a lot of mistakes here.

1) Start with a capital Y in your sentence.
2) You instead of 'u'

Yes, I'd like to see decent spelling. It shows competence in a person when they can spell properly.

Surely dev is not a proper noun and so shouldn't be capitalised? Also, should you even be using dev when you mean developer?

This sentence is grammatically incorrect - you missed off the full stop and you should have told us who it was that had to have the dig.

I noticed a fair share of typos in many module/ship descriptions myself, but you're not looking at those when you're silently cursing the f'ers that just ganked you on the 5x bubbled gate to nullsec.

Realeased is actually a new word which means : Realize that it was Released
Tuesdaz is Tuesday in EveTime or GMT+0 so people don't misinterpret the day due to timezone differences.

Someone needs to get laid. Judging by this topic that's probably not going to happen.

A big +1 for the musical reference.

Their first three LPs are still some of my favourite, and most played records even after all these years.

Except that in the instance you have quoted, his assumption was correct...

This is a statement, not a question. Proper punctuation would demand a period at the end of your sentence, not a question mark.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.
