Oh, haha, you're right! That mis-spelling kept coming to my mind, but I couldn't quite put my finger on where it's from, so I assumed it was just me :lol:

From one of the Master Miner's miss messages:
He raises his hand and appears to try to crush your wind pipe using some kind invisible force...

That should be "some kind OF invisible force". Also, "windpipe" is one word (at least according to my dictionary).

Maybe it actually just needs a comma after "kind"?

When you're Level 7 and you go to the Department of Questionable Sciences, you get a big block of text that includes the following:
The doors have signs on them, indicating that they're laboratories for different branches of unpronouncable, and probably questionable, science.

I looked up "pronounce" in my dictionary and found one of the related words is "pronounceable", not "pronouncable".

It's supposed to be different branches of something that isn't pronoun cable. Gobb just forgot the space.

On the "Inventory (Consumables)" page, the oinTPment is listed as "ointpment" instead of of its proper capitalized version.
(EDIT: Also in the Pharmacologicopaediatorium. Is this a permanent change?)

From the Killer Queen Ant intro text:

That should be 'it's' instead of 'its'.

EDIT: Also, from one of the Killer Queen Ant's miss messages:
Good thing you moved or that would have been your nose

The period is missing from the end of that sentence.

You're right, Gobb. These aren't the droids I'm looking for. I'm apparently getting my ointpments and smrTPills mixed up, which could prove quite interesting in real life. Move along. Move along.

Senora Shiver effect in battle...
A dishevelled, creepy-looking, vaguely corpse-ish guy in a black-and-white-striped suit appears out of nowhere and, with a flourish, proclaims it to be SHOWTIME! He throws his cigarette to one side, then kisses your your opponents on the cheek and says, "Not so fast buddy! We're going to have some laughs." This thoroughly perplexes your opponents and prevents opponents attacking you this round.


Your is repeated twice.

Also, "perplexes your opponents and prevents opponents attacking you this round", should probably be "perplexes your opponents and prevents your opponents from attacking you this round."

In this case, I don't think so jupe. The specific reference pronounces the word as "senora", not "señora" (it's a "nor" sound not a "nyor" sound) so the tilde's unnecessary.

I'm probably wrong, though. I usually am :?

Cheese Cutter Description.
"I'd be careful with it if I were you though; you might have someone's eye out."

Not sure personally if that is the way it is suppose to be, should it be Cut instead of Have?



Cold Chisel Description.
I wouldn't reccommend licking it.

Either way makes sense (in the cheese cutter one) but the "have" is a strange way of speaking. I don't know if that's what Gobb intended.

"You might have someone's eye out" is an *EXTREMELY* common phrase, referring to the result of playing with sharp objects. Well, it is here, anyway. Chalk it up to more Aussie/Brit weirdness :P

But yes, there are 100% too many C's in the cold chisel description. I'll fix that.

US expression is "put someone's eye out", I can well imagine "have" in place of "put" for some speakers.

2 special cookie (pmail)
You gain 17 special cookie. (combining)

I have to ask, is the plural intentional or a typo? As dark pointed out, it could be a play on the fact that you are too high to focus on the others.

From one of the combat messages from the Guy in a Wabbit Suit:
Your opponent tells you the world is ending and you take 8 DAMAGE trying to get to a different world.!

It looks like there's superfluous terminal punctuation there.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure I saw the text "You gain 1 sticks of butter" as I clicked through my turns.

Also, in Junkyard - Raccoon:

"He swipes at you with his claws but his depth perception seems to be off and he misses by several inches"

Missing . at the end

That's really really really really unlikely, given the way the game works, ie. if multiplier = 1 display singular name, else display plural name. There's no reason why sticks of butter should be any different. Since you're not even sure you saw it, I'm not even going to start this particular wild goose chase. If you see it again, take a screen shot.
Cowboy wrote:"He swipes at you with his claws but his depth perception seems to be off and he misses by several inches"

Both fixed in dev, and will be fixed in the next update to prod.

I understand the item itself exemplifies more than one individual red herring, but "1 red herrings" just doesn't sound grammatically correct. Shouldn't it be quantified? Like, "1 can of red herrings," "1 group of red herrings," or "1 school of red herrings"?
