    Tynon Spelling

    I thought it might be fun to have a little thread poking fun at a few of the silly errors in Tynon (all in good spirits of course). The latest one I have noticed is when hovering over the test/practice icon in rankings the text reads "Practise your fighting skills with this player." He he he. any others?

    Actually, "practice" is the US spelling (http://www.world-english.org/practise_practice.htm). Spelling differs according to your nationality. So you are both right and wrong. If you want my opinion, the English language is completely ****ed up.

    I still think this is a fun exercise

    There is the famous "infalability" rune, which should be "infallibility".

    Similarly, those are not errors per se, but the boss's name doesn't fit the quest quite often.

    Ha fair point. I'm aware of most of the British English vs American English distinctions; I hadn't noticed that one before. Good information if i'm ever editing for international sale. :P

    Canadian over here... and what I learned was practise is the verb and practice is the noun. But since practise looks weird... few people use it.
