From one of the miss messages for the brute in training:
He thinks you're an instructor and starts to ask question, but you tell him to drop and give you fifty.
It looks like there should be a "a" between "ask" and "question".

Also, i was about to post the "scrawne" from the brute in training description, but then I finally got the joke.

From "Go Jump a Building", during the Level 12 quest:
A pack of over-muscled hooligans go dashing by,

That looks like it should be "A pack...goes "

From the athelas leaf description:
This small, dry, silvery-grey leaf from a plant that's not uncommon in places that aren't too heavily settled.

That sentence no verb. Perhaps there should be an "is" between "leaf" and "from".

Nah, it's fine. Extracting the prepositional phrase and expanding the contraction, we get:

"This small, dry, silvery-grey leaf that is not uncommon..."

I still parse that sentence as having no predicate.

Subject: leaf
- this
- small
- silvery-grey
- from a plant that's not uncommon ...

Predicate: ?

Edit:
And if you mean
Subject: leaf
- this
- small
- silvery-grey
- from a plant
- that is not uncommon

then you are *still* missing a predicate for leaf.

Or you mean
Subject: leaf
...
Predicate: is
- not uncommon

But then you have a superfluous "that". Also, it doesn't make sense to talk about the leaf being uncommon, I think.

The multiuse message on the cracked roasting chestnuts should use the plural rather than the singular because "these chestnut" looks a little off.

The jazz about its commonality is hint at where it can be obtained. Looking over things again, I went ahead and added an "is" in there.

Also, multiuse plural for the roasting chestnuts has been fixed.

From one of Evil Shamus' miss messages:
Unfortunately for her, she didn't get the long beam upgrade to the beam peters out after a foot or two.

Perhaps the "to" should be "and" instead?

Smoldering with Fury

Even for a vigilante you're exceptionally angry right now, and you're not going to pull any punches.

Increased weapon damage (scales with level)
Incresaed spell damage (scales with level)

Effect

Increased correctness.

When I have a Reformed arsonist sidekick and use a combat item, the sidekick message and item message are separated by a line break. However, the line break is missing when I use a throwing star-magnetar. I also tried using a spark plug, and the line break appeared, so the problem doesn't seem to be with the "electrical damage" message.

EDIT: It's the regular magnetar combat message, not the ones that give you a buff or item.

Fixed, thanks again!

You fling your goodly bent knife at your foe, slashing them for 1 damage damage.

Your 2 pairs of rare earth grips been moved to your inventory
Your 2 pairs of earth boots been moved to your inventory
Your 2 glowstaves been moved to your inventory
Your 2 axes of inclination been moved to your inventory
Your 2 enriched pants been moved to your inventory
Your 2 chimney chauses been moved to your inventory
Your 2 my preciousssssses been moved to your inventory
Your 2 pairs of grounding boots been moved to your inventory
Your 2 fiveanddimestaves been moved to your inventory
Your 2 throne axes been moved to your inventory
Your 2 strained jokes been moved to your inventory
Your 2 lark dance troupes been moved to your inventory

hoyifung04 noticed this:

(from the Metalmorph menu)
"Combat Paper Clip to Bent Paper Clip" should read "paperclip" (in both cases);
the "Throne Axe Set" is actually "throne axes"

Hmmm. This should be working properly in general now.

Assuming this was from memento storage, irregular plurals should be good now. If it was somewhere else, let me know.

From the Multiversal fist description:
What happens when your giant foam rolls over from number one to absolute zero?

That doesn't look right to me. Is that "foam" as in "piece of foam"? Or is there something missing after "foam"?

You blow a few blasts on the horn. After a moment, you hear a responding blast from within the Zion's Tear building. (should be plural)

Also, after adventuring on the Zion's Tears building for a turn, the left panel displays:

Last Area Patrolled:
Zion's Tears headquarters

Fixed and accepted, respectively.

When I updated the wiki for the LI Inc. page, my browser highlighted another typo.
She calms down noticably when you mention yours are mostly working.

According to my dictionary, that should be "noticeably".

From the last paragraph at LI Inc., after getting the submarine:
...the receptionist seems quite agitated, but smiles ruefully she notices it's you.

It looks like there's something missing between "ruefully" and "she".
