| − | This page is meant to be a list of spelling mistakes in campaigns and other translatable texts in the en_US development version of the game.
| + | '''Note:''' If you have a GitHub account, please submit typo reports [https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/new/choose on GitHub], rather than here. Thanks for your contribution! |
| | | | |
| − | Note: The house style of Wesnoth uses a good many words and constructions that are archaic, poetic, or dialectal. If you speak modern English as a second language you may incorrectly read these as errors. Please see [[NotSpellingMistakes]] for a list of things you will encounter that may look like spelling or usage errors but are not. Note that the mainline campaigns are now using correct typography, including sexed quotes and en and em dashes. These will appear as three byte sequences if you are not using a viewer that supports UTF-8.
