Also, ALL of the Future War Commander rulebook. For a £20 book, the use of it's and its is atrocious.

this a grammar thread; do you really expect us to forgive any mistakes? You could be missing every digit but the pinky on your non-writing hand and we'd still burn you at the stake.

OK OK, it was an act of desperation, but I was trying really hard not to make any mistakes. How many did I make?

Oh, and sentences begin with capitals >:D

Typos in wargaming books are, for my money, the most annoying. These people are supposed to be pedantic and detail-focused, dammit!

The ones that should have been caught by a spell check are inexcusable as well!

I am sure some errors made it through the editing process, but the Strike Legion rules are quite clean....

At least I would hope so, since I edited the darn thing. If there are any in there, it is probably because Kajo changed something back. ;D All his fault.

Have written my own fair share of large documents of various types, I can forgive occasional errors. They simply happen, and there is a big difference between a grammatical slip and a pervasive misuse.

Or perhaps you missed something and I ignored your commission by omission. :P

Spoken English, sans auto-pronounce, can come in many flavours of hell.
But to be fair I was left momentarily stumped a few days back by a very, very minor loss of verbal comma. Someone stepped out of the lift and approached me introducing himself: "Hi, I'm Karl Marx's brother."
At least that's what I understood, until I noticed his resemblance to a member of my staff, Marc.
