Common Mistakes
Common Misspellings and Misuses of Words in BattleMaster
Created by Anaris 17:54, 3 January 2007 (CET)
Having been raised by an English professor, I tend to be a bit of a spelling/grammar nazi, and people constantly misusing or misspelling words and phrases grates on my nerves. If you don't care, or think that's stupid, feel free to find some other Wiki page to read; there are lots, and there's no need to flame this one.
Now that that's out of the way, there are 2 sections here: common terms and BattleMaster terms. The former are misspelled words, words mistaken for other words, common phrases with incorrect words or spellings in them, etc. The latter are BattleMaster-specific terms (mostly realm and region names) that are commonly misspelled.
The format is:
- correct word/phrase: incorrect uses seen commonly
- Feature Name: incorrect uses seen commonly
Contributors, please try to keep to alphabetical order. Any disputes over correctness should go to the Talk page and be resolved by reference to an authoritative source before they are changed here.
