This was already reported in March 2010, somewhere in the second page. I recommend checking with the wiki if the typo is already reported (though of course one can simply go over the entire thread and make sure).

Quite minor, all the effect for decrypting codes don't use the standard capitalization for effects, which is to capitalize every word.

I'm pretty sure this one suddenly popped up - the General at the inner sanctum of the Unborn Base now has an indefinite article, and it is always "an", .e.g. You are fighting an General Hospital.

Today, when I fought Mister Uh-uh, I noticed that all of his hit messages had the wrong pronoun, as in: "They hit you for X damage."
EDIT: I noticed the same thing with another wandering villain:
Cappy Capi fries you with his patented Habanero headbutt, causing your entire head to burst into flames. They hit you for 6 (fire) damage.

It's a mystical property of white noise. There's a little bit less knuck in the plural than in the singular.
Kidding, of course. Fixed.

It looks like "small" and "amount" should have an "an" between them.

From "Computer Graveyard":
One of the back rooms is stacked from floor to ceiling with old computers. Probably the computer is too cheap and/or lazy to recycle the old boxes and just dumps them in here.
That looks like it should be the "computer guru" or "computer department" that is cheap and/or lazy.
I mean, I've seen a few cheap computers, but never a lazy one.
