The War Within Typo & Grammatical Error Megathread

Zone: Mycomancer Cavern (delve).
Error: When clicking on the ‘Peculiar Fungi’ to collect it, the dialogue reads: “<This strange fungi ungulates back and forth…”
Correction: “<This strange fungi undulates back and forth…”
Ungulates means hoofed mammals. I believe the desired word is “undulates” (meaning: move or go with a smooth up-and-down motion).

(Brann is now very annoyed with me for taking the time to type this out mid-delve :laughing:)

With Patch 11.0.7 live, the descriptions for Codex of Chromie and Random Timewalking Dungeon in the Dungeon Finder are now missing.

There’s a very small error in the following dialogue of the quest “The Second Signal”.

Bargus says:

I assume that l should be an exclamation mark?

Excavations table on Siren Isle says “Contribute to a Major Excavations” – should say “Major Excavation” instead.

ITEM: Cinderbee Belly

DESCRIPTION: “Meat from a cinderbee”…

CORRECTION: “A meat from a cinderbee”…

I have thought on this for a while but every time I log on I notice that all other meat descriptions begin with “A meat” and this is the only item that starts with just “Meat”. Examples being -

Massive Worm Flank
Bug Brisket
Basically Beef

Please can someone fix this so I can stop thinking about it. Thank you!

Zone: Siren Isle
NPC: Sky-Captain Cableclamp
Error: “Take me back to the Dornogal.”
Correction: “Take me back to Dornogal.”
Dornogal is a proper noun, and doesn’t need “the” in front of it.

Where: Khaz Algar Jewelcrafting professions frame, spec page for Gemcutting, in the descriptions for the first perk every gem cut sub-specialization (all of the end nodes). Shows up in the tooltip when mousing over unlearned nodes, or in the first perk on an unlocked node.

Error: subject-verb mismatch in the description for every gem cut node: e.g., “Learn how to cut Deadly Emerald, which give Haste…”
Correction: Some of the nodes solve this in the node description, by adding “gems”, so match that with: e.g., “Learn how to cut Deadly Emerald gems, which give Haste…” (or make the verb singular: “Learn how to cut Deadly Emerald, which gives Haste…”)
The gem name is singular, but “give” is plural.

Error: The above-mentioned solution in node descriptions is applied irregularly - Quick Onyx, Masterful Ruby, and all of the Sapphires use it, but none of the others do. (e.g., “Further specialize in the cutting of Masterful Emerald, gaining +1 skill…”)
Correction: Change the descriptions of the other gem nodes to match. (e.g., “Further specialize in the cutting of Masterful Emerald gems, gaining +1 skill…”
Consistency is good.

Zone: Hall of Awakening (Earthen starting area)
NPC: Awakening Caretaker
Error: (in one of the random texts when clicking on them) “After so many years, we Caretaker’s have finally returned…”
Correction: “…Caretakers…”
Error: A plural noun does not have an apostrophe. (Apostrophes are for contractions or possessives.)
