SpellingMistakes

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: 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.

Delfador's Memoirs

#. [message]: speaker=Iliah-Malal
#: data/campaigns/Delfadors_Memoirs/scenarios/18_the_portal_of_doom.cfg:486
msgid "Fool! You could not kill me in the land of the dead, nor can you in the land of the living! I transcend both death and life, and I will return to destroy you!"

 [...]both death and life, and[...] -->  [...]both, death and life, and[..]

I don't think the above edit is correct. It's fine as is. --lotsofphil

Heir to the Throne

In the scenario intro for "Northern Winter", a text reads "Across the river were lands few humans had ever visited. The occasional distant thutter of orcish signal drums..."

"thutter" should probably be "thunder".

Units

#. [unit_type]: id=Cavalier, race=human
#: data/core/units/humans/Loyalist_Cavalier.cfg:21
msgid ""
"Cavaliers are masters at the use of both sword and crossbow from horseback. "
"Their combination of striking power and mobility is fearsome; and they have "
"a reputation for dash and agrssiveness to mAtch it. The daring deeds of "
"Cavaliers are the subject of many a tale and song."

#. [unit_type]: id=Dark Sorcerer, race=human
#: data/core/units/undead/Necro_Dark_Sorcerer.cfg:21
msgid ""
"The dread inspired by black magic is enhanced by the sewcrecy and fell "
"rumors which sourround. Dark sorcerers have begun to unlock the secrets of "
"life and death, the latter of which is all too easy to inflict. This labor "
"gives the first glimmerings of the connection between the soul and inert "
"matter, and the first successful experiments in manipulating this bond. The "
"terrible unknown that lurks beyond death is glimpsed, and will inevitably be "
"fathomed.\n"

#. [unit_type]: id=Duelist, race=human
#: data/core/units/humans/Loyalist_Duelist.cfg:20
msgid ""
"It is a peculiar custom of Wesnoth's nobility that they typically enroll "
"their sons into one of two orders of armigers, training them either in the "
"art of horsemanship or fencing. Duelists are so named for an unfortunately "
"common practice of young aristocrats, for whom the sting of insult, whether "
"real or fancied, can incite a rash demonstration of their natural right.\n"
"\n"
"Experienced fencers carry with them a small crossbow that is easily "
"concealed under a coat or cape. Slow to load and simetimes thought "
"dishonorable to use, it is in fact very useful, and those of their ranks who "
"live long enough to be veterans typically do so by making such concessions "
"to utility and survival."

#. [unit_type]: id=Troll Rocklobber, race=troll
#: data/core/units/trolls/Rocklobber.cfg:20
msgid ""
"The thought of throwing a boulder in combat has certainly occurred to many "
"trolls, and some have taken to them as a weapon of choice. Because stones "
"wekll-shaped to flie true are not always easy to find, Rocklobbers have "
"taken to carrying them in sacks slung over their shoulders. The same leather "
"out of which the sack is formed is easily adapted to a crude sling."

#. [unit_type]: id=Elvish Marksman, race=elf
#: data/core/units/elves/Marksman.cfg:20
msgid ""
"Elves are wonerously keen-sighted, a gift whiuch contributes to their "
"mastery of the bow. An elf practiced at archery can hit targets that a man "
"couldn't even see, and can nock a second arrow almost as soon as the first "
"is let fly. Realizing this prodigious skill does come with one cost, that "
"being a lack of practice with the sword."

#. [unit_type]: id=Orcish Sovereign, race=orc
#: data/core/units/orcs/Sovereign.cfg:19
msgid ""
"From time to time, an orc will arise who has a natural charisma and command "
"over his ilk. If he is also strong and cunning wnough to survive early "
"leadership struggles, he will inevitably find humself leading a great horde "
"of warriors, and he will also inevitably cause a great deal of trouble for "
"the civilized races of the world. The surest way to disperse such a host is "
"to slay this rare orc who can hold it together."
