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.

Also

Most people who work in a professional environment where you are interacting with customers in the way the dev's do with patch notes and such take the time to spell things correctly, or in some cases at least have the sense to lean on that crutch we call spell check. Releasing a document like that to the paying public users of your game is just flat out lazy, and disappointingly on par with everything else that CCP does on a regular basis to irritate its customer base.

I am very curious about your grammar and spelling skills if CCP would simple switch to Icelandic dev notes.

Yeah I know, English is spoken worldwide. But neither you guys with an English mother tongue are relevant in any way nor your grammar / spelling nazism.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not but CCP has a game that is played INTERNATIONALLY.

Which means that people who don't live in ICELAND may actually play the game.

Therefore it is considered common practice among professional companies to not look like someone who can't spell when you release developer notes in another language, most companies hire someone who speaks and writes the language fluently. CCP apparently is happy with half-assing it.

EDIT* apparently the profanity filter needs to get cleaned again.

Considering how many versions of English are out there I think CCP do pretty well for a company based in a country where English is a second language, especially as their employees are drawn from all around the world with the corresponding differences in spelling and pronunciation.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

See no problems what so ever, it is just the standard, use, drop or add what ever letter you feel like, as per standard American(US) spelling.

Shame there is no English law compelling them to use the actual English language, being their servers are in England. Sad

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

Realeased


This is not a spelling error! CCP have simply taken to combining the use of two words into one so save on Dev time.

Clearly here you can see the two combined words are Real and Released. This would indicate that CCP felt the need to confirm that this was in fact a real patch released at the correct time.

This is CCP trying to 'connect' with the younger audience and to boost subscriptions. CCP are HIP and Happ'in.
