Turrents is one that bugs me pretty bad. I also have a buddy that says Capacitator, also cringe worthy.
Some misspellings at least sound like they're spelt, and those I can live with. It's the ones that they spell differently than how they actually sound.

No they are not although the A spelling is common on the internet. Dreadnought was a specific individual historic ship and use of the name for ship types is copied from this.

Doesn't matter. The HMS Dreadnought may have been spelled that way, but that ship, in turn, took its name from the general word dreadnought, which can also be spelled dreadnaught since naught and nought are the same word (albeit hailing from different eras).

Doesn't alter the fact that in this context it is named after the specific ship you mention and therefore should follow the same spelling.

Homeworld and Star Wars both use the spelling Dreadnaught for a size class of vessels, unless I've gone completely bonkers. But if you say you know exactly where the game designers got the inspiration for the class name, who am I to argue with you? -----

I'm surprised "fraction" isn't being mentioned more often in this thread. That's extremely annoying. Why would you want to fit a "fraction" of anything when you can fit the entire item?!
Also trust misspelled as "thrust", but I've really only seen one person do that, albeit excessively. I thrust her very much!

And why do you guys throw that extra letter in there? Do you pronounce it? Or is the U just a soothing letter across the pond?
Though, I admit, 'gray' is better spelled with an E in 'grey', the British way. And I prefer when quoting single words at the end of a paragraph the period should be excluded like "grey". Not the American way, like "grey." Unless you're quoting an entire sentence, where the period is actually part of the quote.

We didn't throw it in, that's how you spell it, its the Americans that remove it.
IIRC Americans changed the spelling because 100-200 years ago (when ever it was) education wasn't exactly good, so you simplified the language for the masses.
Unfortunately its catching because 1) it is simpler (I wont argue that it isn't, but its still wrong) and 2) the US throws out alot of TV, Films and other poop using the simplifications so kids pick it up and stick with it.

EDIT: Oh, and it was "thrown in", originally being -or in Latin. Why, though, is it honorific, instead of honourific? The U seems to be superfluous. (Did I get enough U's in that last word? )

The English treatment of the letter "R" boggles my mind. You don't pronounce it at the end of syllables, but add it in elsewhere? I've heard English people pronounce "Martha" Marthur", for example, yet "colour" is "coluh"? Wha? *brain asplodes*
In all seriousness, I do like the English and respect English culture, but English spelling and pronunciation seem silly to me. For example, I only found out recently that "gaol" was actually pronounced "jail". I always thought it was just some archaic synonym, rather than being the same(?) word.
I do agree also that English quoting style makes more sense, but that's about it. :)

The reasons for the varying pronunciation, is that we do have accents. We aren't generic you know.
And yes, 'Gaol' is a weird word, however we mostly use the word 'Prison' anyway when describing where bad people are put.

Here, "jail" is generally a local city-run place, whereas "prison" is a state-run place, so there's a distinction.
In response to the other person: about "bonnet", to be fair, "hood" means something pretty similar. They're both head-coverings.
It's "boot" that I don't understand. We call it a "trunk" because old cars had actual trunks there for storage. But "boot"? I have no clue where that came from.

Originally by: Dretzle Omega Oh, and it was "thrown in", originally being -or in Latin.
Based on my understanding of English history (I was a history major for a year or so, for what it's worth), I'd guess that the "-our" comes from the time when French-speaking Normans were in control of the country. The Norman conquest happened in 1066, and before that, English (old English) was a very different language, as in, not intelligible to modern English-speakers. It was heavily Germanic/Norse and is also known as Anglo-Saxon. A common misconception is that the way people talked in Shakespeare's time was "old English", but that was more "middle English". Here is an example of old English (a line from Beowulf): "Hwµt! wē Gār-Dena in geār-dagum".
Many words in modern English come from French (which is derived from Latin), so I'd guess (though I'm not a historical linguist) that that's where the "-our" comes from as well as the "-re" instead of "-er". For comparison, the French word for "color" or "colour" is "couleur" and the French word for "center" or "centre" is "centre". It's pretty easy to see the similarities.
So I understand where those spellings come from, but I don't get why the English kept them that way all these centuries later, even though they're at odds with the way the language is actually pronounced.
EDIT:

Not so much a misspelled word, but a major gripe of mine is people saying "I could care less...". I'm fairly sure you mean to say "I COULDN'T care less", meaning you care so very little about the subject, you'd actually find it impossible to care any less about it, unless you could somehow manage to forget about it.
Also, tarp is often misspelled for some reason...

Armor, Color, and Honor are correct spellings.
Saying it aloud as "ARM-OR" results in the correct pronunciation.
American English is as valid as English English. In fact, Americans (up until the early 20th century) was considered (by many) to speak a more pure form of the language than the dialect which was prevalent in Britain at the time.

Surprisingly for someone who insists on using correct spelling and grammar in SMM messages (I've also been known to correct memos at work from higher powers and explain to them why their use of language is terrible), many of the examples here don't bother me so much when written.
The spoken ones annoy me more when I'm on voice comms. "Megathoron", is my current berserk button for no particular reason.
As for the whole US/UK english debate? Since the game goes with US spellings, I use those for module names (since they are named nouns) and UK spellings (since that's where I am from) for all other instances. This is the correct way for us Brit***s to be doing it. Putting the 'irate' into 'Pirate' |

I think this is reasonable. I hate the arguments between the two sides and I think we just need to view them as very distinct dialects. Both are equally valid in their own context.

There's nothing wrong with complexity--needless complexity can be a problem, though.
There is no need for all those extra letters. They don't affect the pronunciation--in fact, given the way they're pronounced, it makes more sense without them. To me, "colour" reads as "col-oohr", while "centre" looks like "centruh" to me. Obviously, I'm biased, growing up and living in the US, but based on all the other words I know in the English language, the spelling vs pronunciation of those words seem off to me.
If you're alluding to 1984, that was different--getting rid of most words, would lose all the descriptive words with their subtle shades of meaning. "Superb" is not the same as doubleplusgood, for instance.
Changing the spelling of French-derived words so that they're free of extraneous letters and actually look the way they sound is something else entirely, whether you think it was the right thing or not.

"-ize" was most definitely not invented by Webster. It's a Greek suffix that has existed in English for ages, side-by-side with the French-derived "-ise". The Oxford English Dictionary lists "-ise" as a common variant of "-ize", and it's been suggested that the proper use of the two suffixes is to use "-ise" for words from French or Latin and "-ize" for words taken from Greek. Neither is a misspelling.

The English treatment of the letter "R" boggles my mind. You don't pronounce it at the end of syllables, but add it in elsewhere? I've heard English people pronounce "Martha" Marthur", for example, yet "colour" is "coluh"? Wha? *brain asplodes*
It's a phenomenon that also appears in some American accents, most notably the dialect of the Boston area unless I'm completely mistaken.

If you saw what level of education some have when they leave school over here, you'd understand. Most of them need a spell checker for any words exceeding 1 letter. There's also many who can't even do the most basic math either. Education in the UK has gone to hell in a hand basket.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say In fact I will go as far to say I didn't understand that paragraph at all. I read it in my head and didn't understand it and then out loud and didn't understand it.
It annoys me yes but when an American speaks he is not speaking English (as much as people say they are) they are actually speaking American. They are two separate languages they just happen to be very close and derived from the same root language. So both spellings are correct if used in there native land, its only when they cross the pond (either way) they are incorrect.

I dislike more when people mispronounce ships, such as the Chimera, Archon, Charon, ragnarok, erebus, etc.

Originally by: Johnny Dexter Something that never ceases to amaze me is how many can't understand the difference between 'to' and 'too', it's unreal. Also, then / than, lose / loose and of course, their / there / they're.
You know what the worst thing is?
The ****ing brits are doing it too!!
A friend of mine got a tatoo of; "Life is to short to besomething or other that I've forgotten cause I can hardly make myself look at his arm now".
And about the whole English/American English discussion: I am pretty sure it will prove to be besides the point eventually. Although in schools outside the U.S. the original English is what is being taught and they sometimes spend a lot of time trying to stop us spelling in American. We soon forget all that and start making up a new hybrid english that is neither here nor there. Oh and if anyone could tell me how I could stop this damned text box srolling to the top all the time so I could see what Im typing I would be most greatful.

"alot" is not a word. I see this all the time, and it makes me cry tears of rage blood.

Don't take it too hard. People often translate what they say from different languages, so they don't think in english. They think it in their native language and then translate the words. For example "a lot" is a single word for me, so I propably make this mistake all the time.

Eve Online is just like that: Eve Online. It is not EVE Online, EVE-Online, or EvE (despite the original logo).
It's Eve Online.

their / they're / there too, to, two alot (properly spelt: a lot) abit (properly spelt: a bit) infact (properly spelt: in fact) aswell (properly spelt: as well) ofcourse (properly spelt: of course) we're / were
And my favourite / most likely to cause me facepalming: i (properly spelt: I)
Convo gets an honourable mention as it seems to be common practice in Eve to say "convo me". Saying "conversation me" is gramatically incorrect.

It's a shortened form of Cartoon as in Loony toons or Toontown.
They most certainly aren't selling a jingle so tune would be wrong.
Toon is the standard MMO term for a character has been pretty much since the genre was created.

Dreadnought comes from the saying 'Fear god and dread nought', meaning dread nothing.

American English is as valid as English English. In fact, Americans (up until the early 20th century) was considered (by many) to speak a more pure form of the language than the dialect which was prevalent in Britain at the time.
Which single dialect would that have been? Great Britain has many dialects and remnants of older languages. For example, take the south-west of England, say from Bristol to Jersey - start east, you'll hear one dialect of Norman English, go eastward only a hundred miles, you'll begin to hear remnants of West Saxon (the language of Alfred the Great). Go to the Channel Islands a couple of dozen miles south - you'll witness a huge French influence in their written and spoken language/dialects.
As for armour/armour -both are good. Every spoken language must evolve or end up a footnote in the history books (see West Saxon, above).

It's not a spelling error, it's just a stupid word and it should be censored on the EVE forums to prevent the stupid from spreading.

Words aren't stupid, people who think words are stupid are stupid.
This thread is about words that are commonly misspelled not about words that are stupid. So it strikes me as rather stupid to bring up "toon" under this circumstance since whether you think the word is stupid or not it's still spelled correctly. So in addition to lacking in reading comprehension you're also off topic.
Now people trying to sell a tune on the character bazaar forums would be appropriate to mock in this thread.

Why would you want to? It's a common English word. It's there to be used.
Oh, and that reminds me of another word that is often misspelled: 'sentence' as 'sentance'. ----- 'In Eve, as in real life, if you are bored it's your own fault.' |

If you look, you'll notice that I'm not the one that brought it up in the first place, so don't talk about my reading comprehension.
And you're wrong about it not being a misspelling--it's a very bad misspelling of the word "character". There are no cartoons in this game. Maybe in some other MMOs characters look like cartoons, but not in EVE.
