Righto, tiny nitpick.

Whoever wrote the descriptions for the new texts should seriously go over them again as they are a bit of a pain to read with all them commas being spammed everywhere and whatnot.

I'm also wondering why they still havn't fixed the "Dev Blog: Corp Hangers on ship and You"-link from the EVE Launcher.

Spelling is such a complicated thing. Even for non-native English speakers like me. Cry

I haven't really noticed all the new text, but, from what I've gathered in this thread, it seems that some people, unlike me, cannot handle comma usage.

Welp, at least you know those are commas and such. Now that they are stopping the teaching of handwriting in American schools(true story), there should be many many folks soon wondering about these alien marks between words............
