[Klonan] [15.31] Minor grammar mistakes

A little while ago I found this thread regarding inconsistent capitalization,, and since I've noticed a few issues with grammar and capitalization, which I replied with but since it didn't appear anyone notice (and I'm impatient), I felt I should post this before the final version of 0.15. The major ones are:
  • 1. "It stinks and they dont like it" (on Steam and in-game) should be "It stinks and they don't like it".
    2. "1 technologies have been omitted" (see picture on mentioned thread) should be "1 technology has been omitted".
There are also a few minor issues. Inconsistent capitalization may not be an issue depending on how picky you want to be, I marked these cases with "*", other capitalization and grammar issues are marked with "**"
  • 3. Load game screen (not as sure about these two, they might not be worth the effort):
    • a. Map name should be capitalized (Freeplay, not freeplay, Sandbox, not sandbox, Level-01, not level-01, etc.).*
      b. "base x.x.x" should be "Base x.x.x" (see below).*
    4. Base mod in mod screen:
    • a. Name should be "Base mod", not "Base Mod".*
      b. Description should say "Basic mod with... and standard campaigns.", not ""Basic mod with... and standard campaign." (because there are multiple campaigns included in the base game).**
    5. "Show Mining Drill arrows when detailed info is on" and "Show Combatinor settings when detailed info is on" should be replaced with "Show mining drill arrows when detailed info is on" and "Show combatinor settings when detailed info is on".*
    6. "About" screen (when using Steam):
    • a. "Release: steam" should be "Release: Steam".**
      b. "Version: x.x.x (build x, win64 (or whatever), steam)" should be "Version: x.x.x (build x, win64 (or whatever), Steam)"**
These are by no means major issues, I just felt that fixing them (at least the major ones) would make the game feel a bit more polished.

Thanks as always for making an awesome game!

Don't worry, fellow internet jerks in hiding, I'll take the fall so that you can stay hidden. This is all in good fun...

You obviously photoshopped that picture, because the title is spelled perfectly fine.

Thanks for the report,

The ones that could be fixed without too much ripping up of the carpet have been fixed for 0.16
