Zenuim Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 "queueing" is correct, "queing" is not "waiting for," is correct "waiting on" is not Marshall Cavarat is her title, so it should be "Marshal," capitalized, with one "l," not 2. Darth Baras' = Darth Baras's, both mean something belongs to Darth Baras, both are correct, but the first one looks cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmwfte Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's kind of funny that you'd push for the American spelling of Marshal, but the more commonly British/Northeastern US/Eastern Canada "waiting for" against the Southeastern US/Pacific Northwest/Western Canada "waiting on". As well, if you want consistency, many Americans also drop the "e" in "queuing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmwfte Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 i just can't stand a grammar nazi. I just find it funny when there are multiple acceptable uses of something depending on region and/or they get it "wrong" in telling others the "right" way.

Darth Baras' = Darth Baras's, both mean something belongs to Darth Baras, both are correct, but the first one looks cooler. I think if you played Batman See n' Spell on the Leapster instead of Swtor you would get a more satisfying experience out of your game time and it could help you with your grammar which you appear to desperately need. Also, more than half of your 'corrections' are regional differences, you did know people speak English in more places than just your hometown right?

TitusOfTides Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) There is one title that ANNOYS ME TO DEATH. Jedi Guardian: "Name" Knight of the Republic. PUT A COMMA IN THERE. Seriously though, it irritates me... i.e. "Steve Knight of the Republic" should be "Steve, Knight of the Republic." PLEASE fix this.

Nempo Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 You have never been in the military obviously... they don't comma between rank and name. Your rank is part of your name when you are military. You know what the G.I. stands for in G.I.Joe right? It is the best explanation to ever give. It means Government Issued, it means that person belongs to the government for as long as they are in the military. So yes, you may be a Marshal and may be proud of your name, but you don't get a comma, as it is your rank...not a "title" and those under you are to use your rank as your name and frankly those above you are going to do it too. "Yes Sargent." "No Marshal." "Right away Captain." "Orders accepted General." "Hello Gunny" (Gunny being the shorthand for gunnery master) Get the idea?

AlrikFassbauer Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) G.I.Joe is unknown here in Germany. And *all* ranks should be translated into French & German SWTOR language as well ... But it almost never isn't. What does a French or a German kid think of a "Private Thorn", for example ? A private person who is just on a private vacation on that planet ? French & German kids just don't know the rank of "Private" - yet it almost never gets translated into other languages ... Ensign Temple is a person with the first name being "Ensign" (no French or German kid knows what this means apart from a "sign" being there, maybe), and "Temple" being the second name ... Written wrong of course, because it's "Tempel" in German language ... Edited August 1, 2015 by AlrikFassbauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallensouls Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) What about them having Lord for the Title of a Female character when It should be Lady sO and so? Edited August 2, 2015 by Fallensouls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icestar Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) What about them having Lord for the Title of a Female character when It should be Lady sO and so?

SelinaH Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 "Yes Sargent." "No Marshal." "Right away Captain." "Orders accepted General." "Hello Gunny" (Gunny being the shorthand for gunnery master) Get the idea? Commas are still good for disambiguation in these types of situations. Consider "Let's eat, Grandma!" versus "Let's eat Grandma!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmwfte Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 What about them having Lord for the Title of a Female character when It should be Lady sO and so? They technically mean different things. Common usage throughout Star Wars, however, is using "Lord" for any gender. Particularly among the Sith. Strangely, though, none of it here seems to have anything to do with bread either...

Or you can play a US game and deal with the intricacies of our American English dialect and our rich history of 2 centuries of translating it into other peoples languages badly.

Rather not translating at all. Most PC games in early gaming never got any kind of translation. By the way, language is indeed my hobby. But I would never act like a Grammar Nazi.

American movies are the most watched worldwide, our military movies being top of those charts. Having gamed alongside MANY individuals from outside the U.S. not a single one had a hard time with our ranking structure as half of American games just use our military ranking structure. The whole military shooter thing that has become insanely popular (CoD, Halo, Battlefield, etc...) all use our ranking structure... Either you've never played American/British/Canadian games before (all tend to use American military designations, especially in the past 10 years) which is virtually every major game made today...or you are just arguing for the sake of arguing. "Kids" tend to be quicker on the uptake than people think. Heck when you get promoted in the Trooper storyline it immediately ends any confusion. Making this a rather nitpicky thing to even bother with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I don't have much misinformation. Those games and movies, don't translate the ranks. I WATCH them in other languages myself. So you make yourself look foolish by assuming they are if you don't personally watch them. You are assuming. You know what they say about assumptions right?
